I had to stop minoxidil before starting dutasteride, a) because the minoxidil was causing rapid heartbeat, even in smaller amounts, dry hair, etc., but also because b) i wanted to dutasteride's effectiveness on it's own.
There has been crown shedding, my most affected area as it was, and some slighter frontal thinning, and i've been pretty much shedding for the past 7 months. The shed from the minoxidil should have stopped a long time ago. I'm hoping to see the shed dutasteride hair come back.
Anyway, a) does spironolactone effect blood pressure, which ultimately changes your heartbeat? i thought i remember reading somewhere that it does.
b) if i can't use minoxidil, would it be wise to use spironolactone, as mopping up the additional testost. may not lead to regrowth the way minoxidil does, but should lead to some benefit?
you can do a search for spironolactone to see success stories. but like most threads on this site, they always dissolve into some other disucussion that has nothing to do with the original question.
thanks.
