I've been using finasteride for 6 months, 1.25mg daily. I initially experienced a shed, however this was probably due to the fact that I switched from Rogaine solution to foam at the same time. I use the foam atleast twice a day, use Revita daily and dermaroll every 2 weeks.
My hairline has continued to recede at the same rate. My father experienced increasingly aggressive hairloss at my age (20) and this is my one opportunity to stop it from taking hold completely. A number of people have been advising me to give finasteride another 6 months, however I could have lost a significant amount of hair by that time.
My options seem limited. The only viable way forward appears to be to take 0.5mg dutasteride every 2 or 3 days whilst continuing to take finasteride and see if this works. If not, I could try taking dutasteride every day and remove finasteride from my regime completely. Part of me wonders if the finasteride I am taking is even legit, however I bought it from a reputable source (Dr Singh) so adding dutasteride seems all the more necessary.
I am desperate for opinions as this is a critical stage in my attempts to slow my hairloss.
