I don't get it. I love and respect Dr. Feller and Dr. Bernstein for being conservative, but it looks like Dr. Umar's results with nape and body hair are outstanding. The others would argue that the nape hair is subject to the loss one would have in terms of thinning in that area over time...

Thanks. It's more the cost that I'm trying to keep controlled. I remember once reading that Umar paid for the hotel/flight, and I've read that other doctors do, but I'm curious to get confirmation from someone, anyone. Strip with Feller for 5/graft vs. combo SFET/BHT with Umar for 6 (if you let...

Does Umar offer a plane/hotel voucher/discount? Although I live very close to Feller in New York, I want about 1500 via strip in my hairline. (Fue is too expensive, plus I want the better yield.) However, though some don't like Umar and the fact that he takes from the nape, or even BHT, I amf...

Well, I don't want to pay 10 bucks a graft for FUE, though. Also, I want to preserve my donor hair. I'd rather get strip, even if it's a smaller slice, and have a nice yield. paying 10K for 1000 hairs isn't an attractive proposition for me. Is that even an option? If I want a small area...

God, I've been lurking on these boards for years now. Read through all of the various doctors, will probably go with Dr. Feller, as I live on LI, and I figure he's probably about the same price for strip as Dr. Bernstein ($6). Don't know if they go lower with prices, or if there is tax added to...

Well, not in terms of side effects, thank god. I haven't noticed one difference. My skin has cleared a bit, I started on only 12.5mg. nine months ago, but have been on 50 (and now 100mg) for a while now. One in the am, one in the pm. I've been on dutasteride. and minoxidil. for 18 months as well. I...

Well, seven months ago i started on dutasteride, and I've been shedding continuously since. Was about NW2, with a small bald spot. I stopped minoxidil on day one due to my rapid heartbeat, and started shedding after 30 days. i imagine it took about one or two months tops to all fall out, and a dutasteride shed...

What do they mean? i started with a few in the initial weeks, and now, after seven months, i don't seem to have any new ones. at the same time, one or two of them, one of which is the one *furthest* from my hairline, has gone completely terminal. it's a couple of inches long. yet, after these...

thanks. i don't have enough of a bald spot to use 5%, that's the problem, just a bald spot on the crown, and i guess my hairline. problem is, 2% is too expensive for me, being a poor social worker, and i can't even follow the explanation for making it yourself, despite being a generally bright...

I had to stop minoxidil before starting dutasteride, a) because the minoxidil was causing rapid heartbeat, even in smaller amounts, dry hair, etc., but also because b) i wanted to dutasteride's effectiveness on it's own. There has been crown shedding, my most affected area as it was, and some slighter frontal...

uh-oh

it's the dutasteride forum.

I'm not on minoxidil. because it gave me a rapid heartbeat, but i'm wondering if anyone saw anything after 7 months. the front of my hair looks good, but i've been shedding (not a ton) since around the first month. my crown was the trouble spot, but now it seems worse. again, it seems that most...

thanks, slarti. thing is, i'm sort of wanting to switch to EOD because of acne (minocycline only works for some time, and you can't stay on it anyway). but i know that you did EOD, and saw better results once you upped the dosage. i'm thinking maybe 2 days on, 1 day off? i don't know.

I love how people reply to "finasteride. is making my penis smaller!" and "finasteride is useless! I've been on it for two weeks and my hair isn't growing back!" Yet they won't offer advice on a legitimate question.
