Two months on finasteride is often too short for visible results. I think my first results came around the 9 month mark. Now at about 15 months it is still getting better. Just stay on finasteride, you won't regret it.
Then i''ll get 1.25 mg finasteride daily, it seems 1mg isn't enough to block dht.
About minoxidil, i've read and heard enough about it, and i'm afraid of using it.
They say it works for some time, then hair gets used to it and backs to normal.
There is not much of a difference between 1mg and 1.25mg finasteride. Why do you think it is not working for you? Wait at least half a year and then evaluate if the results are not good enough.
