Hello all, here is an update on my results.
Right now, I am not experiencing growth at the incredible rate I reported at first. I am not loosing either. I would describe it as gradual growth at this point.
Based on all I have experienced, I am thinking that maybe the major growth I experienced at first was because I had Dutas both internally and externally. Here is a summary of my experience.
1. I used Proscar orally and Minoxidil topically for many years and I got moderate results.
2. I began using Dutas ORALLY for a few weeks and got the same moderate results, but I noticed increased belly fat.
3. I stopped oral Dutas and started applying it topically. I immediately began getting major results.
NOTE: Even though I stopped using Dutas orally, I still would have had it in my system.
Two possibilities here. Either applying Dutas topically, in addition to the Dutas already accumulated in my system worked, or, the Dutas that was accumulated in my system coincidentally started showing results when I started applying it topically. Most likely though, it was because I added the Topical Dutas.
4. The rate of growth then started slowing down, but I attributed it to the Novedex XT which I started taking for bodybuilding. This product increases DHT in the blood and can thus cause hair loss.
5. I have stopped taking Novedex XT for 3 weeks now and the rate of regrowth of my hair is still moderate. It is supposed to take 3 weeks for the level of DHT in the blood to return to what they were before taking Novedex. So I am thinking that the Novedex did not affect my hair loss very much and I thus need to take Dutas both internally and externally, to experience the amazing results I got at first.
I am considering taking some Proscar pills (that I had remaining) orally, while continuing with the Dutas topically to see if there is a speedup in the regrowth.
So If I am right, what we need to do to get the results I got at first, is to take Dutas orally as well as topically, along with Minoxidil topically.
