Ok, I think that we don't have to be so meticulous as to when we apply the topical treatements, I think that it is more important to find what we actually respond to and use it enough, some times I apply spironolactone at night some times during the day some times not at all, same with folligen, I sometimes go a weak without using nizoral, For propecia though I try to be as consistent as possible, I actually discovered that I respond more to the 1mg dose than to .5 or .7mg. (My manhood has been somewhat comprimised though).
before I even experienced my thickening I wouold be so a*** with my topicals, than I got more slopy with the topicals, that is when my hair thickened, POINT: my hair didn't thicken until I found the right combination of what I responded regardless of my meticulousnes of how applied them.
I think that if we are going to respond to a treatement than we are going to respond to it regardelsess of the details of how we apply it (given that we take enough of it, kind of like reaching the threshold). Remember I didn't even notice a regrowth until my second spironolactone round. Dr. Lees 5%, I don't know maybe I would respond just the same to 2% or my own home made version, I will probably stick with the Dr. Lee's stuff, where I get it doesn't matter what matters for me is that I found something that I respond to...
