Long story short, I had really aggressive male pattern baldness, I started losing a ton of hair at age 16. I immediately got a prescription and began taking 1mg finasteride and 5% minoxidil. About a year and a half after that, I had a PRP session done and got a custom prescription of minoxidil 10% with 0.2 finasteride, on top of the 1mg pill I was taking. A year after that I hit a boom, and this last year, I feel like i'm starting to thin again, but have no idea where to go from here. Should I add dutasteride to my regiment? I heard adding 1-2 0.5mg pills per week of dutasteride on top of daily finasteride works. Or should I try PRP again? What about RU? PRP is very expensive, and i'm not sure which doctor to do it with, if I do it. Any thoughts? Any advice appreciated!

I am not sure I would add anything if I were you. I would kill for your density at this point. PRP is useless for most and insanely overpriced. If you think it helped you, go for it. Dutasteride is always an option. RU is difficult to get and doesn't have much data to back up its safety or efficacy, but go for it if you want. Your hair looks great right now, if you have comparison photos it would be easier to judge. How old are you also?

And in regards to dutasteride, it works wonders for some people. I had been on finasteride for 3 years, and actually lost an insane amount of hair in that time. Never had any side effects though. 2.5 months ago went on dutasteride EOD and dropped finasteride. Actually had reverse effect side effect-wise and libido and erection quality increased. Recently, feel like I crashed though and my libido is sh*t right now. Have to drop everything now unforunately, until everything gets back to normal. Issue with dutasteride is that if you get sides they are going to last for a while even after stopping the drug, because the half-life is so long. Because of the long half-life I wouldn't recommend it to most people unless in a dire situation, which you're not.
