Norwood 2.5 currently but losing ground while being on finasteride for a year. I have to do something, but scared of the brain related side effects. Should I just give it a try?

4 months on Duta and I have yet to experience any sort of brain fog. I did experience moderate-ish brain fog back when I started finasteride ~6 months ago (the very first month or so) and that side effect did subside after awhile. Truth be told I regret not starting Duta right away. The only side effect that truly bothers me is the insomnia :(

3 months on duta after 17 on finasteride and losing ground the entire time. When I started duta I felt that my hair loss in the Norwood region stopped for about 2 months. Unfortunately a week in my sides and back of hair thinned rapidly. In the 3rd month my hairline started to recede again rapidly. Sides and back stabilized but still much thinner than when I started. Brain fog is for real on this med. never had any sides on finasteride.

And I’m up every night at 3-4 AM like I right now. When I come home from work all I want to do is sleep.

When i had insomnia for few weeks on finasteride it was driving me close to insanity literally, scariest feeling in the world when you want to fall asleep, but cant

What made the insomnia go away, by itself?
