I think it is too expensive and too much of a hassle (issues with suppliers such as quality and availability etc.). The RU hype seems to have died down and I don’t see any documented stories of people maintaining finasteride results with RU. The unknown safety profile is another issue – I was never even...
10 months side effect free on finasteride and then suddenly the beginnings of gyno. It really is a **** solution in the grand scheme of things.

The End
So after 9-10 months side effect free on finasteride I am coming to the end of the road due to the recent onset of sides. Twice in the last month I experienced a “nipple chaffing†feeling most commonly experienced by people who do lots of long distance running, which I hadn’t been...
Stopping minoxidil (causes massive shedding) and starting finasteride (can cause shedding) is bound to make things temporarily worse. You need to stick with both treatments for a year+ and things should improve unless you're unlucky.
Yep fair enough. There are a number of topics on here (and particularly on hair loss help) where people have chronicled their experiences with similar regimens which you may want to check out.

I haven’t noticed any particular change since my previous update. In terms of sides, the situation is also the same (none). I will be continuing with this regimen and the next update will be in 3 months. I have had increasing...
Mini 6 Months finasteride Update: Not a proper update, and I can’t really get a good pic of the crown to go with it but I thought I’d comment having reached the 6 month mark with finasteride. I plan to continue and the next scheduled update will mark 15 months since starting topicals.
After 6 months of...
Yeah, these individuals who bump like 100s of topics with bull**** replies ("Jizz" was it this time?) don't even seem to get banned. I have no idea how Drop Dead Fred managed to get past 300 posts before being dealt with either...
edit: looks like ineedhair and drop dead fred got banned now...
12 Months: I've been using finasteride for 5 months now. Things got worse after about a month and remained that way for another couple of months. Recently I felt like I was similar to baseline and very little was happening, the results were underwhelming. I feel like I have made some progress...
