Not sure what you mean by "chaotic switching". I initially avoided propecia and minoxidil due to a fear of sides (I was right) . I went on propecia and had to quit due to breast growth. Tried minoxidil for 16 months with nothing but loss. If I were 9 months in it would be one thing, but it's...

Are there people who get sides from finasteride but not from dutasteride?

My story: 30 years old, thinning out NW2.5 (no crown loss so far thank god). 2007-2009 I was on Zix, folligen and nizoral, and I'm convinced the Zix slowed down my loss, but I gave it up for propecia in the Fall of 2009. Five months later I had to quit due to a lump and pain in my breast...

I'm wondering if I should just try liquid rogaine for a while. I always feel like I'm wasting foam in my hair, and I hate how it gunks it up and makes my hair stiff.

Wait, I'll regret what? Getting off rogaine or having started it in the first place?

What is the benefit of using melted rogaine foam over liquid rogaine? Isn't it just more liquid rogaine at that point?

If this question makes sense......has the minoxidil made my hair dependent on it regardless of whether or not it's been cause for any improvement?

I'm 30 years old and somewhere between a NW2.5-NW3....a receding hairline with thinning temples. First noticed my hairloss when I was 23, and went on a bunch of useless BS a year later but a year after that went on zix. My loss continued very slowly but in retrospect I think the zix may have...

I started Evista a week ago and am currently taking the recommended dosage, 60mg a day, and have enough for about ten weeks. I've seen on some forums (although somewhat old threads) that more than 60mg a day is recommended. I think I even saw someone recommend a 4-week cycle with 240mg/day for...

Any real difference between the lotion and the cream? The website says ones for really thinning hair and the other's for the hairline.....what difference does it make? I'd be using it for the hairline, by the way. Also, has anyone had success reducing the nastiness of Folligen to tolerable...

Gonna give this the old bumparoo......people are comparing the lotion to the cream, but what about the spray? Should there be any difference in efficacy at all between the three, or should there be no difference? Would the spray diluted in distilled water be less effective than the...

So I've since stopped finasteride and the pain in that lump is pretty much non-existent now. I hope that's a good sign. Could that mean that it might reduce in size on its own, or should I still go on Evista?

Did you stop finasteride (or dutasteride) and/or go on an anti-estrogen?

...and what happened? did you get rid of it?

How it it any different from teenage boys who temporarily develop gynecomastia? They say a certain percentage of boys develop gynecomastia and only a small minority of them don't lose it after a short while. Why does their breast tissue disappear on its own?
