My Fight With Androgenic Alopecia 2014-2017 Advice For More Gains?

[Hippocrates21]

Noticed significant hairloss at the age of 16, DUPA thinning and receding hairline. Started taking Proscar 1.25mg ED and Nizoral 2% a few times per week and by the year mark had thickened hair a little bit, most significantly on the crown which had a thinning spot which almost totally disappeared.

Added Rogaine 5% liquid once per day in 2015 and got significant hairline regrowth and thickening over whole scalp. Added Avodart 500mcg per day when gains stagnated. Switched to Oral Loniten in 2016 first at 2.5mg for 6 months and lost all Rogaine gains. Then went to 5mg of Loniten for another six months and didn't gain ground.

Started on 10mg Loniten ED in May 2017 and added back Rogaine 3 months ago. Then added Stemoxydine 5% once per day the same time I restarted Rogaine. Vellus hairs are starting to form and some are becoming terminal at the hairline. Hopefully i can gain some ground.

If you check my bio my regime is in there, I take a lot of supplements, not sure if they do much.

Would like some comments on my regime and what I can add to make it better.

Specifically would like opinions on:

- Dulgen 15% with PG Plus
- Microneedling/rolling
- Lasercomb
- Vitex Agnus Castus (does it help or harm hair????)
- Adenogen
- Eucapil
- Oral Castor Oil
- Putting on Tretinoin cream before Minoxidil
- Spearmint oil
- Topical Estriol

Thanks so much!

@Swoop what were the ingredients in your custom lotion again? Been trying to find that old thread. I believe Tempol and Equol and maybe Taurine was involved?

Also what do u think about Adenosine?

I only use TEMPOL, since I believe we need to deal with the oxidative stress.

I wanted to add s-equol but it was too expensive.

Wait - you LOST ground on Oral Minoxidil? I thought the whole point of oral was that it was stronger?
Thank you x
