Re:

After all my research I have belief in spironolactone.

I use Dr. Lee's 2%. It's not a hassle, doesn't leave my scalp brown, has a hint of odor that is brought out more when put in contact with Minoxidil (Mercaptan smell).

I personally have been using Xandrox 5% 2x daily & spironolactone 2% once daily for nine days and I have noticed a dramatic decrease in shedding of terminal hair. I'm sure I will have some sort of minoxidil shed soon, but doing the pull test I am getting 90% less hair now than I was before minoxidil & spironolactone. I usually can't get any hair on a pull test inside of the treated region. I do get the occasional one and I have noticed a huge decrease in shower/daily shedding. I was quite amazed honestly, I don't know what of the two it was but I was truly astounded and cannot wait for the months to go by to see the progess.

Sucks that this post was from long ago, but this success story fits mine almost exactly...except I'm only using Alpecin ASL.

Actually I'm kind of interested in also using spironolactone 2% mainly for the grease which is the only thing Alpecin ASL is missing. It's kind of drying....not to an extreme level, but does anyone have an thoughts on spironolactone 2% liquid in combination with a caffeine regimen? Could this be counter productive in some way?
