I have been using minoxidil since it came into the market in 2%, and I am still using minoxidil 5%, Spectral DNC and DNC-L, I am losing more hair since Spectral changed the formular, since 3 months I am using Rogain 5%, and the situation is a bit more stable now.
I have taken Proprecia 1mg for more than 3 years a few years ago, it made no difference to me, my hair was not better or worse, also when I stopped taking it cold turkey, and just used 5% minoxidil the condition remained the same, so I am sure Proprecia is not for me. I have also tried spironolactone Cream 2% from Dr lee for more than a year till a few weeks ago, again it made no difference, it has not even stop or slow down the hairloss.
I had a good regrowth with the old formular of Spectral DNC and Revita Shampoo before it changed the formular. The problem of Spectral is it changes the formular too often, and no one know what they will get bu next batch!!
Now I am considering to upgrade the minoxidil to 10% or 15% with 5% AA, because I do not think 5% works for me any longer after so many years , and AA is DHT inhibitor . My doctor has also given me the 0.15% finasteride lotion to try, and the health insurance pays for it, but not Proprecia. I do not know it will even help, because I have taken Proprecia for years before, without any effect but just sides.
Now I am just thinking if I should just jump to 15% with 5%AA, in the evening, and 5% in the morning, or use 10% 2x per day. I do not want to overkill, which will leave me no where to upgrade again in the future.
Does anyone of you use 10% with 5% AA with good result?
