Just wanted to give you guys an update on my progress. I have now been on dutas for 6 months and I have to say that I am thrilled with the results I have had. If you look over any of my old posts from around 8 months ago you will see how desperate I was. I was utterly miserable and heavily depressed. My hair loss got so bad that I actually ordered some wigs as I felt it was my only option (I could not face being bald). Dermmatch would not even cover the loss, and under bright light you could see my painted scalp.
After being on fincar and minoxidil for a year or so with pretty much zero results, I decided to up my regime. I ordered the dutas, along with 5% spironolactone and continued to use the 15% xandrox once every two days. After some great initial thickening in the first two months, I started to shed for a month real bad and easily dropped below base line. I was encouraged by the initial period though and was losing a lot of hair from the back and sides so knew this was a shed.
Now at six months I can almost say I have regained every single hair that I ever lost from the crown, and have regrown heavily at the front as well. Not as much at the front as the crown but I'm still seeing new hair coming through. I could really see around a 90% recovery overall by the time I hit the year mark.
The great thing now is that I no longer really worry about my hair. Sometimes I even look in the mirror and think it looks too thick compared to what it used to and people will think somethings up. I no longer use Dermmatch which I was a slave to for around a year and a half. Its such a relief that I cant really put it in words. Everyday was a struggle for me, hair loss was all I would think about. I read some of the guys posts on here when they are saying how messed up they are with it and think to myself 'you have no idea'. I just now wish my hairline would come in a little more and then I can have a real cool hair cut again.
I don't come on here much anymore but wanted to let you guys know how well dutasteride has done for me. If you have been on finasteride for a while with no results then give it a shot, its worth a try!!!.

And with dutasteride, it seems you'll maintain that for years to come! I've been thinking about trying the "good stuff" .. you're in the UK? Where do you get your dutasteride from?
