Right, I'm getting bloodwork to see where my DHT levels are at and if they're low (means finasteride is working), then maybe the increase in testosterone is wreaking havoc on my scalp which is why I was thinking fluridil (more tested than RU, and don't need anything that strong since I'll still be on...

Hmm, I guess I just don't understand why blocking DHT would cause more hair loss (unless it's because of the rise in testosterone on the scalp). I'd love to be able to regain what I've lost, but it seems unlikely that would happen if I stopped. Might try fluridil for 6 months first and see if...

And want to figure out what the issue with finasteride has been and why I've lost so much since starting. Then I'll add minoxidil once I'm...

no minoxidil, just finasteride

Do you have pictures of your hair recovery off finasteride? I'm just a bit worried about stopping and it getting much worse.

I'm planning on getting blood tests for dht and testosterone to see if my dht levels are low (if the drug is actually working or not). If...

Any update?
