Swany, right now I am not taking anything internally in order to minimize side effects (bellyfat in my case). I use dutasteride and minoxidil topically in the morning and before bed.
For years, I had been taking minoxidil externally and finasteride internally. I then started taking dutasteride internally for roughly 2 weeks. finasteride made me get a considerable amount of belly fat over the years, but I experienced a sudden further increase in belly fat after taking the dutasteride internally. Over the years, my hair was just hanging in there (sometimes I would find it to be slightly thinner, and sometimes slightly thicker).
When I got the sudden increase in belly fat, I stopped taking anything internally, and I started using the dutasteride and minoxidil externally, twice a day, which is when I started getting the amazing results (obviously, I still would have had finasteride and dutasteride in my system at this point).
I reduced my dosage to once a day after about 3 weeks, and also started taking Novedex XT for bodybuilding which is a product that can cause hair loss. At this point, my regrowth seemed to stop.
I have thus now started back with dutasteride and minoxidil externally, twice a day, and I am experiencing growth again (not a fast as before though, most likely because of the Novedex). I will be taking Novedex XT for another month, but I suppose I would see a speedup in growth once I stop with the Novedex and my serum DHT levels are lowered.
Since I am experiencing growth I believe that I should be able to submit a pic with a difference within a month. I suppose that taking dutasteride internally while also rubbing it on the scalp would be more effective than just taking it externally.
To answer briefly a couple of other questions I remember reading from some members:
1. Concerning the idea of going to scientist to let them evaluate this result. I am just posting my experience with the hope that many persons like me could solve their hair loss problem as well. If it turns out that some how this method does not work for others, I am sure that someone would find something that works sometime in the future.
2. I bought the Dutasteride for $45. It is supposed to be the same ingredient as Avodart. Avodart is the original and Dutas is the generic. I suppose it's like buying clothes from Nike or Walmart, you pay more for the brand name.
3. To the members looking for better picture proof, I hope that my next pic in a month or so would be satisfactory. Even though I have old pics with friends, none show the top of my head. The pics tend to be from the front, and I always had a strong frontal hair line.
I hope I clarified things for everyone.
