I feel like I'm doomed. That's my story.

i`m on CB about 3 years, i added on my regime Dutasteride ( 1 day in the week) any my hairloss is history...it`s the combination what makes the difference
What % concentration of CB are you using & how much does it cost you?,

How long you been on dutasteride?

don`t belive what you read here on the web.......the dosage makes the poison (the chance to get side effects from this stuff, is like the chance that you win the lottery jackpot tomorrow) :) .........my Doctor told me that 10 mg/minoxidil day oral is a low dosage, it will not harm, as finasteride i take it now since almost 25 years, and i`m still alive........doesn`t matter what i or other guys will tell you......ask your Doctor, and not the hobby docs here
You read that something work, does not mean that it really does, for example your Ketoconazolo 0,5%, use it for 1 year, than stop it, you will notice that there will not be any difference in hairloss, this stuff doesn`t work...only one example...
And i`m almost sure that with your regime and ideas, you will get bald....nothing from your 1. to 8. works against hairloss

Don`t give up so easy....think how you will look bald....horrible (like i also would).....good luck !
I've been reading some of your posts, since I had a hunch that dutasteride might work better for me at lower dosages (at normal dosages it's even weaker than finasteride, as rare as that sounds), but never tried it. This thinking stems from the fact that dutasteride acts like a placebo for me, the efficacy is almost non-existent (finasteride at least slows down the thinning), and it never causes any side effects (unlike finasteride)...but when I try it after several months, the first day I will experience some high T/high estrogen symptoms (expected from 5AR blockage), like massive libido, or marked nipple sensitivity, which immediately go away after a couple days. I also tried a mesotherapy session once and thought it was somewhat effective, but using the pill daily did absolutely nothing, my hair got wrecked while on it because it wasn't blocking DHT production properly.

Now, after reading that you've been in this world for 25 years, I wanted to ask you something, just to make sure. Is it possible that your hair loss simply stabilized because of age and lower testosterone production? After 55 it's not uncommon for Androgenetic Alopecia to calm down significantly. Have you ever tried to tweak your current regime, and, if so, did hair loss resume? Thanks

UPDATE

It's over guys, my condition is laughable. I stopped oral finasteride this June cause I experienced erectile dysfunction. I used 1mg every day for two months and 0.5mg every other day for other two. I shared the picture some months ago. Precisely I did one month off from any medication during which I had sex with no problem. Therefore I think that proves finasteride was really giving me ED and it was not psychological (never had sex when I was on finasteride though). Then around 20 days ago I started a low-dose topical finasteride (0.025% x 2ml therefore 0.5mg of finasteride) + saw palmetto. However the situation is sooo bad:

I am very disperate, I am tempted to resume taking oral finasteride, but erectile dysfunction worries me greatly. I don't want to make rash decisions; after all, I have only been using topical finasteride + saw palmetto for a few weeks. Meanwhile I started contacting surgeons for an hair transplant and most of them think I can have good results even without taking oral finasteride since my donor area is rich:

Get back on finasteride. The side effect are usually transient and dissipate after 6 months at the most. You didn't give it long enough.
