I've been on medication since 98. Started with Propecia. Switched to dutasteride. Added in topical minoxidil, and for the last 2 years added in 2.5 MG of oral minoxidil. I have had no side effects other that increased water retention that I counter with an anti estrogen

Serum dht levels and scalp dht can and will most likely be different. Circulating dht doesn't mean much for M P.B. dht attaches to tissue it doesn't just float around in the blood like fish swimming in a pond.

I'd wait since you will probably go through a shed in the beginning

Nope, it depends on your genetics

Stay on for at least a year. Some don't experience regrowth for up to 1.5 years. But if it stops the hair loss and reverses miniaturization you are winning

Around 28, I went on and off.. should have stayed on the full time but financially at the time I couldn't keep it up because it was over $300 a month for dutasteride plus my bro science was telling me that the receptors could become desensitized to the drug if I were to remain on it for the...

Dude your 42? Hair loss happens with age, if you think you will regain your hair density that you had in your teens, 20's or 30's you won't! And how did you come up with 150-209 hairs lost daily? That is like saying I lost 162.5 hair

Ha

It will slow over time. Not like the fear mongering that kids that say if it hasn't worked in a month it isn't working

The only way to know is to stick with it. It's not a cure it's a treatment that doesn't stop male pattern baldness. it slows it down

Genetics! Similar to the way some people don't respond to cancer treatment. Or some people could be immune to the antivenom of a black widow bite.
