This is a major concern of mine. While I don't take amphetamines, I do take a drug that acts like one but is not in the family that drug. I suffer from MTHFR and while it sounds like a dirty word one might hear in the inner city it's a genetic disease inherited by one or both of your parents...

If you can add topical Dutasteride which is stronger that "F"." "The main difference between finasteride and dutasteride is that finasteride is selective for type II 5AR while dutasteride inhibits both type I and type II. Dutasteride not only blocks both types of receptors but also does so much...

Finally, apples to apples for me here. I haven't been able to find any complaints on any blog meeting my exact criteria. I started finasteride 9 months ago due a receding hairline out of nowhere. The first Dermatologist said my situation is out of his league so referred me to the UCLA Hair and Scalp...

RE :Shedding. My situation is very strange. From the start of my receding hairline the last week of Dec 2020 to this day I find two odd things. One is I can't pull my hair out, or at least not easily since I haven't gone past the "stuck "part to pull with even greater force. The "pull test" has...

The following is from a study posted in the US National Library of Medicine. " One study discovered that dutasteride was approximately three times more potent than finasteride in inhibiting type 2 5AR and 100 times more potent in inhibiting type 1 5AR. After studying the mechanism of action of...

Thanks for the reply. Look, I just turned a very young Zeplain playing 72 who expected to be bald by 30. In fact, I checked out Hair Club for men in my twenties. Started minoxidil via a compound pharmacy in the early '70s before FDA approval. I've also been on Saw Palmetto and other supplements...

If that's true I shouldn't worry that the shedding started the last week of Dec2020 is still increasing. . Started Finasteride on 1/5/21 both topically and 1mg orally. Also, dermarol at times but every time caused the biggest loss. A month ago I started topical Dutasteride which is stronger than...
