switching up my regimen (PLEASE GIVE ME ADVISE!)

[amrod]

okay... basically about a year and a few months ago i went to the belgravia center in london (anyone else know it?) and they perscribed me with propecia and minoxidil 12%... within a month i noticed my hair improving and in 6 months my hairline was almost acceptable again with noticeable improvement at the back

i had to quit this treatment though because it was costing so much, the minoxidil was making my heart go crazy and the propecia totally annhialated my sex drive

any how... for the last 8 months or so ivebeen struggling and have got onto a regime of propecia 1mg daily and minoxidil kirkland 5% 2ce a day with nizoral shampoo a couple times a week

my hair is not maintaining though at all... my hairline is getting worse with the left side erodijng away and thinning at the top

with the original minoxidil i used i was instructed to apply it on the hairline area aswell as the crown... it really helped the hairline. however with this new kirkland stuff it says in the packkage to only use on the crown? i really need soemthing to improve my hairline aswell as the crown as it originally did

now my medecine is about to finish up so ive got to place another order

what i want to know is what the hell should i get?? whats the best possible propecia/minoxidil available (money not a problem) and where can i order from? (UK plz)

as you have gone back on them surely you will need to give these things another 3-4 months at the least to work.

yeah its been like 4 months since ive been propperly back on the new regimen but it doesnt seem to be maintaining this time. ill give it a few more months

do u think switching to dutasteride is a bad idea?

also is generic minoxidil better than kirkland?

thanks

i would suggest sticking to finasteride and see how things go. Make dutasteride a last resort, also kirkland and generic are pretty much the same

 

[ANDREW_J_I]

is kirkland one of the best? 5%

kirkland is just one of the cheapest. I dont think there is a best or worst, people just rate them according to the time they take to dry... Dr Lee's is fast drying kirkland isnt
