Thanks Dogs3, im hoping just to maintain what hair I have until I reach the age where most of the men my age have a receding hairline like me. Then i wouldn't feel so paranoid since everyone is on a level playing field. I've noticed that its when I try to regrow my hair to my teenage state is...

I don't see how it could hurt to jump on finasteride at your age. Started when I was younger then you and never regretted since most of my bro's are bald and I still have hair. I did get sides though , loss some labido at first but it came back within the year or maybe I was lucky and ended hooking up...

If you feel that proscar is losing it effectiveness then maybe try upping the dose to 1/2 tablet and see how it goes before jumping on dutasteride. Like you said, you may be going through a shed so don't rush into jumping on dutasteride. I was on 1/4 proscar for 8-9 years before it lost its effectiveness on...

Its a tough call dude, Ive seen people go on minoxidil and couldn't ride out the shed so they discontinued use which worsened their hair. When I started minoxidil I buzzed my hair real short and stuck with it and never noticed any shedding probably because it was so short I never had to comb it. I'm now...

Finasteride is probably the only reason I still have most of my hair after 9years. It will not grow back hair but will maintain what hair you have now. Keep using minoxidil, if it has worked for you. You may experiance a decrease in labido with finasteride but at your age ( I started finasteride at 19yr also)...

Re: 28 years old, any hope? Like many here have said, you will probably need monoxidil since proscar will only maintain the hair you have now. Minoxidil to me has an overall thickening effect but make sure to only take 1ml or less with each application morning and night. When I overdid the...

I have been on Proscar 1/4 pill for about 8-9 years now and I believe its gradually losing its effectiveness, so I recently started increasing the dose to 1/2 pill. I will be starting a regimen like yours (dutasteride + finasteride) and hope it can renew the battle with my hairline. Good luck! and please keep...

Tried it for 1 month foam in morning and liquid at night before gradually going back to liquid only. Didnt notice any difference but the transitional stage only lasted for 1 month. Can't say much except I wished the foam worked for me since it was cosmetically more appealing and very fast to...

Nope, with foam the shedding started around the first few months but it was not too noticeble so I stuck with the treatment. It has been a total of 1.2 years of FOAM and gradual thinning of the hairline and crown. Before FOAM, when I started with liquid I shed for the first few months then saw...

I also started on finasteride when I was about 19-20 and stayed on for the last 9 years. No matter what anyone says I am very happy that I got on finasteride and I reccomend you do the same. I have just as much hair as you and for the last 9years finasteride has kept me at that level with a lil thinner in the front but...

el_duterino, sorry to side track but I read that you having been using DHT inhibitors for 10years now and started dutasteride 4 years ago did this mean that you were using Finasteride the 6years befor ethat? Did finasteride lose its effectivenss and that was the reason for you jumping on dutasteride? I am just...

From my experiance everytime I dropped minoxidil (since it was a drag to apply twice everyday), I regretted since I would start to shed within the the month and end up having to jumping back onto it. If anything use it for the crown and not the hairline. I hate minoxidil since I believe it causes my...

I am also one of those guy who started off with liquid then switched to foam and lost alot of hair, as a result. From family history I knew to jump onto Finasteride and minoxidil as soon as I saw any shedding so I was able to keep most of my hair for the last 9 years (started when I was 19). I...

College, i usually just suck on the Proscar pill, to get rid of the coating, then crush it into a fine powder and then drop it into my Kirklands 5%. Will my method work or am I just ruining the minoxidil and proscar. Thankyou for your time.
