I am @ 11 year mark, so one of the old ones and I still have 99% of what I started out with, started as a Norwood 2 and pretty much stayed that way for 11 years.
And maybe you would have the same amount of time, if you started out on dutasteride or started out with finasteride and switched to dutasteride later on.......:uglylol:
Start taking it before you come off finasteride, prepare for a possible shed anyway but better to start loading it up, it is only 0.5mg but it has a very long half life, so takes time to build up in your system.
Not really, maybe a little but I am nearly 40, dutasteride was approved by the FDA in 2001?
I think I am the last person on the forum that has been using it for this long.
If Global was still around, he would be the longest. I think he would be on his 12 or 13 year mark.
I tried finasteride for a year, really should have tried it for longer but after a year it had not halted the onset, so I went straight to dutasteride.
I was a NW2 by the time I started dutasteride and has kept me a NW2 for 11 years and counting.
I started dutasteride in June 2004, I was 28, it stopped my hair loss but not much regrowth, 11 years later, still doing okay.
Why don't you go for 10% or even 15% minoxidil twice a day, if you want regrowth.
