So I started on Finasteride around 2007 and have been taking it continuously since then. Around 2017 I started taking Dutasteride once a week which I then upped to twice a week and now three times a week. For most of that time I continued to take finasteride except on the days I was taking...

Hey I posted this on another forum but Im hoping to get a response as quickly as possible as Id like to get back to the doctor. Basically I have been consulting with one of the top European doctors and had been planning a 2 day session of 2500-2800 grafts. I asked for a cancelation to come up...

Anyone have the name of one that is experienced with hairloss and finasteride/dutasteride?

What are you talking about? :(

His argument was that my body has built up a resistance to the drug and doubling the dose would be like taking 1.25mg when I was starting out. Essentially Id get another year before my body got used to that.

No, no side effects. The doctor that recommended doubling my dose was a local hair transplant doctor. I wont be using him for a hair transplant now that Ive read about the big name guys, but he seemed to know his stuff so was curious about the double dose thing. He said he has seen results doubling the dose with his...

Thanks for the info. Yeah Im currently on 1/4 of a 5mg tablet.

My doctor here in London prescribed me finasteride years back but she didnt really know much about it and was basically asking *me* what I thought about it. Anyway I figure she probably wont know much about Dutasteride, which Im thinking of switching to, (I havnt tried her yet), but just...

I have been on finasteride for 5 years now and the photo below is how I look now. Its very similar to how I looked 5 years ago except in the intervening years I had good thickness in the crown which has started to disappear in the last couple of months. Is there any chance that this is just a...

How many times a week should I be using nizoral? Also when Im in the US it seems to have 1% ketoconazole but in the UK its 2%. Should I use it differently depending on which type it is?

Im in berlin and Im out of rogaine foam. Does anyone know where I can pick some up here? I know rogaine is called regaine here and Im not sure if there is a foam version, however Im sure there must be a specialist shop somewhere that has it?

How often should I use nizoral 2%. My doctor said every 2 days, but the the packet says every 3-4 days. How often do you guys use it? Also what do you use on the other days (just regular shampoo?). Do you use conditioner?

As far as Im am concerned the finasteride has worked. I am 26 and my hair is in a nice state. Im 4 months in and Im sure Im gonna get a shed some time soon but even still Ill stick with it and hopefully Ill be back to somewhere near where I am now again. But what Im wondering is how long does...

I have been on finasteride and rogaine for just over 3 months now. I have been very happy with the results. I didnt pay attention to it at first because I was very busy at work and didnt see my friends much. I remember looking at it about 1.5 months in and thinking it had gotten worse at the crown. Thus...

So basically I should wait and see what happens with the drugs. That is worrying though, as if my hair loss continues (even if its at a slower rate) the implication is that I shouldn't get a transplant (given that I am waiting at all).
