Anyone Recover From Reflex Hyperandrogenicity??

That's basically what I've done, i've dropped the dosage and gone every 2-3 days. Shedding is still heavy 3 months in but scalp oil/acne has calmed down and my head isn't painful in the thinning areas as much.

I don't have any hopes to recover what I've lost though. I think my hope would be to maintain at best.

Did you lose a lot? Or are you still the same Norwood with a bit of thinning?

Coping and the reality of things. It’a hard to gain ground of what is lost.

Scalp tingling, pulsating, itching area is where the worst shed/hair loss happens. Sucks

The only tht doesn't cause any shed r itch is 0.25 duta..but hair is becoming brittle ...is it bcz hair is undergoing process

No, i got really scared sice I heard about this so I took 0.25 for one week and quit now I'm three weeks without taking it
Im really afraid getting back on it
So is it stabilize for you?

Flavonoids like quercetin have a ton of evidence that they reduce AR expression. I wonder if it would help if you took a supplement

Yes I read about it and think to maybe give it a go maybe it could help and it seems more safe than the other alternative (ar blocker) .
I don't want to mess my hormones more

Gotta figure out dosage though. @pegasus2 what would say is a good dosage to get the AR expression reduction effect of quercetin.

I shed like crazy since quitting so maybe it was a bad choice idk

More than reasonable. Flavonoids have poor bioavailability. Quercetin also inhibits the Wnt pathway, so even if you took a high enough dose to do anything it might do more harm than good.

I used dimethylcurcumin topically, and well I think it was helpful I couldn't keep using it due to the mess. It's a horrible neon yellow that stains everything.

Are u using minoxidil?

So I guess resveratrol and egcg have the same problem
Do you think taking curcumin as a supplement be more beneficial at least less messy?

Actually no I didnt touch it yet

I guess you right but with minx I can't track the damage maybe gonna try it soon
Do you think getting back on finasteride 0.25 every other day after 3 weeks off could have a good effect?
