Have you tried topical anti androgens like RU or Eucapil (fluridil)? finasteride didn't work for me either, and I've come to the conclusion that if finasteride doesn't work, nothing will. I didn't get severe sides on finasteride, but it didn't do anything positive either. In fact, it seemed like I shed more throughout the 11 months I was on it. Fluridil was the only thing that gave me a (slightly) noticeable effect. Seemed like I was shedding 10-20% less hair, but now it doesn't seem to be as effective as when I initially started using. I just ordered some Sandalore and have high hopes for this:

Im not giving RU a try, ever.
