Hi Jimjam, I have been following your post from beginning and I found it so dramatic battle and impressive progress; a big salute to you. Now the questions, after long time of extensive medication, do you think you would be able to stop taking Propecia or any alternative? Until which stage you think you will continue taking the regime?

Wow amazing progress! Do you think adding dutasteride has improved your hair considerably?

Hey thanks for the feedback, I too think its helping.

I added dutasteride to the regime as yes felt finasteride on its own was not doing the trick, although it did originally. Really it was just an experiment, if I use it daily I seem to get higher hair count fall, every other day seemed to be a good mix - no idea why.

And no, until there is an alternative cure then I will not be able to stop any of this stuff. It all requires constant medication. Many people here have had families etc and taking it for 17 years. I think if it works for you then stick with it.

I think it looks good. The average person would not think you have hair-loss.

Have you ever considered adding Minoxidil into your regimen?

Have you ever considered adding Minoxidil into your regimen?

No, as I have already said in this thread, I was allergic to it and my face swelled considerably due to water retention - it was not a good look

Thinking about making the jump to dutasteride as well. 10 months on finasteride - slight regrowth.

Hey there, quick update. Still on same regime. I am now 36 and still have hair, but receding is continuing as you can see by the small hairs. Hair will need to be cut soon as its feeling fine and crappy.
