If I recall correctly, in studies approximately 90% of men maintain their hair long term (10 years) on finasteride, and its something like 99% or 100% on dutasteride

Yes unless you're taking external anabolic hormones (steroids) its basically impossible to continue to lose hair on dutasteride

I would not use minoxidil. minoxidil works best for diffuse thinning, and you have none basically. You really don't want to have to rub this sh*t in your hair every day for the rest of your life for next to no benefit (to your specific case). You can get a year supply of generic finasteride/proscar...

.5 dutasteride + liquid 5% minoxidil every day, and regenepure DR shampoo every other day Mix of Irish, English, Italian, and trace amounts of other European ancestries. My exact regimen is what I said above. I rub in the minoxidil, 1-1.25 ml, about an hour to two before bed. I'm seeing a doctor for it, its...

thats not bad at all. Just start finasteride and forget about it

I'm still using dutasteride and my hair is still the same. Well actually, I got off dutasteride and am on nothing whatsoever starting in September 2020 because I'm having issues with fertility. My semen volume was much lower on dutasteride. But all these issues will be resolved soon and I'll be...

I always considered a hair transplant but I think it would require too many graphs, and I would be unable to achieve a 100% recovery to a full head of hair. As a result, I have been wondering about the possibilities when it comes to a hair piece just for my crown. I have a unique situation, I...

Replacing finasteride with dutasteride would be the first step

There are no effective topicals, at least not proven with weak evidence. If you are a bodybuilder, and using steroids which contain DHT in them, there is literally nothing that can stop you from balding. minoxidil will give you some regrowth, but it won't last forever. Even the most powerful oral...

This is actually the most frequent sexual side effect of finasteride. Most people don't know this because few people complain about "not being able to shoot as far". It's considered a minor side effect. It may go away with time, as many sides of finasteride do. Remember, finasteride is typically used...

By what mechanism is it supposed to work? How is it supposed to stop DHT receptors from receiving DHT?

minoxidil, finasteride, and nizoral shampoo

No I never really got back on minoxidil. I will though, update will come within 8 months from now. Srry

doubt it wil do anything

Yea, see my results pic in my signature. I shedded massively for first 3 months, STRONG regrowth months 4-6, followed by shedding and a worsening of the hair, followed by regrowth back to at least the 4-6 month level by the year 1 mark. At year 3 now, and hair same as the year 1 mark.
