Need help modifying my routine (already using minoxidil)

Hello guys. I am currently about a norwood 1.5 to my estimate. I use 5% minoxidil once a day at night time. I have been using it for about two years exactly. I started using 1% nizoral a few weeks ago at about a few times a week. I also am taking saw palmetto (it might not help but just giving it a try)

I seem to be maintaining pretty well from what i can see. I think i have even gained a little during these two years.

I am slowly noticing more peach fuzz in the originally bald areas of the temple. This instantly made me think potientall for hair.

Is there someway i can modify my routine to help these hairs fully sprout out or atleast become somewhat teminal? I consider myself a pretty good responder to minoxidil. Its like these areas want to sprout out but need an extra push?

I know propecia is probably the best bet but i'd rather not use that until i really need it once minoxidil stops me from maintaining.

Any recomendation for some type of anti androgen or dht blocker i can put on before/after nightly minoxidil.

Preferably, I dont want something i have to apply in the morning.

I think Copper peptides could be more helpfull to you, as you seem to repond very well to growth stimulators.

Some sort of antiandrogen as well, would be necessary in my opinion

perhaps add some finasteride. tablets to your minoxidil. too? Though it could simply work through systematic absorption. See the topical finasteride/dutasteride threads.

revivogen has 4 fatty acids that are weak topical 5ar blockers. just the vials though. the shampoo and conditioner are not worth anything. it also has some polyphenols in it, which are growth stimulators.

as for androgen receptor blockers, spironolactone cream is your next best bet.

If you love topicals and have money, there is proxiphen at http://www.drproctor.com, and there is RU58841, the strongest androgen receptor blocker there is. Purchase information is in the experimental section at the end of one of the RU threads.
