No, prior to using Seti I was on finasteride, duta, minoxidil, keto, etc.. bad sides and bad shedding / diffuse hair profile. Unpleasant experience.
I think Seti is worth a try honestly - with topical, it's safer than oral, and in my opinion more effective.
I think oral administration is weak (you lose so much systematically to other parts of your body and through urine), and honestly I am not a fan of any oral drugs.
I would say this is worth trying:
Topical Seti + needling + castor oil (with an absorption enhancer like DMSO, ethanol, etc)

Other people have seen success with Seti too - evidence on forums and reddit. Here's one example I was reading today:
Here is info on how to use Seti, although I and others have had success with lower topical dosage:

It's pretty cheap now, so it's worth a shot I think.
Yeah, see my posting / thread here:

TLDR: I saw success with Seti + needling, but stopped and lost ground. I'm now 2 days into testing Cetirizine since it's so cheap and readily available. If it works, great. If not, I'll reorder some Seti and go that route again.
This is in addition to needling 1x a week.
