I’m an 18 year old cisgender male who has been experiencing shedding for the past year or 2. I hopped on dutasteride nearly a month after I first started shedding, but it’s done nothing. My hair fall has not changed and my hair is getting visibly thinner by the day. I tried RU and it did nothing. I tried Zix, same thing. Minoxidil works but it’s not working fast enough and I’d really like to halt my shedding. As of today I ordered spironolactone and I might order estradiol and oral minoxidil as well pretty soon. Hopefully this is just a temporary solution, although I know that the effects of chemical castration don’t always go away after you stop taking the drug. I want to stop wasting my money, time, and precious follicles that die while I mess around with phony products. It feels like I just got around the bend on puberty where I’m no longer so awkward looking or a social outsider, but I didn’t realize the boogie man was waiting for me behind the corner. I just wanted to pause for a minute before I go nuclear and ask for any advice y’all may have on precautions I can take to make this as safe as possible.
