I'm sad to report that after 20+ years of use, finasteride is no longer working for me.
I have experienced terrible shedding for the past few days, maybe stress is playing a big role (I live in Portugal and the COVID-19 quarantine is getting on my nerves).
I can't really complain because Proscar worked beautifully for more than 20 years: I started when I was 17, today I'm 43 years old and still a NW2.
Today I decided to start taking Avodart, I know it's an atomic bomb compared to Proscar but let's hope it's a success.
I'll keep you guys posted on the results. Fingers crossed!
Hi all. Very new here. I’m a long time finasteride user of 20 years here. It has pretty kept all my hair for that long. Recently I’ve noticed a bit of thinning. I’m just wondering of those of you who made the switch or even incorporated DUA with finasteride could give me an update all these years later. Would really appreciate you inputI have a similar story. A few years older. I used finasteride for 20+ yrs too. I still receded but barely compared to when i started. A great run. 8 months ago I noticed it started to lose effectiveness.
I added 1Dut + 6Fins- Crazy shed for first 6 weeks. stayed on this for 4months to make sure i didnt experience any other sides. No results.
Added 2Duts + 5Fins for last 4 months. No results
Just started 3 Duts (first week) but my derm wants me to eliminate finasteride all together. Fingers crossed.
