So, I first began a treatment of Minoxidil 5% once a day, ketoconazole shampoo and Finasteride daily (don't remember the dosage) in about October 2015, when I was 21, and continued upto Feb 2015, after which i switched to Dutasteride 0.5mg twice a week. I took this with Minoxidil and the shampoo uptil August 2016 because I had changed countries and the drug was cheaper in my home country, and it would be lighter to carry.
I got quite a lot of growth during this phase, but I was bit depressed during this time as well, so I stopped taking all the medication, thinking they were the reason. But, it seemed to be an unrelated issue. Since February, I experienced rapid hairloss. It went back to the same pre-treatment level, maybe even worse. So I restarted the treatment in March and I have been very worried about my hair.
So, I wanted to know if someone has had experience restarting the treatment and has it worked for the second time? Was there some permanent loss or did you manage to get most of the lost hair back?
I'm attaching my current hair status, two months into restarting the treatment. Thanks!
