Quit anti depressants and see if your mood improves if not then its finasteride.
Yeah...it's not the antidepressant... I know it's the finasteride...I'll.try topical.
Nobody knows how long but maybe a year or 3. Some can maintain for years u just need to wait and see what happens.
Well this is good news. I'll try finasteride again after a break this may not be related or topical finasteride may work.
I cant tolerate finasteride thats why im on dutasteride the only dht blocker i can tolerate and im thankful for that. I Read about a guy on minoxidill for 15 years and he maintained. But hes a minority. Eventually it didnt work as good anymore.
Yes I thought I saw you say that in.anothet post. What is your daily dose? Is there a chance it'll be an option for me in terms of mental health...?
Ok.... So as long as it's working should I bother to experiment with topical finasteride? It seems as long as the minoxidil is working I can relax right? Thank you for your response
Thank friend and God bless you as we battle this curse
If you don't have aggressive loss and are balding at a snail's pace, minoxidil will seem like its working long term but the truth is after a few years it seems to decline in effectiveness without a DHT blocker like finasteride.
Thank you Doctor. Im using topical finasteride now too.
finasteride does not work that fast. Something else is causing that. My hair looks thicker when shorter and thinner when longer so it can vary. The only way you can prove it is to take a photo and compare it in about 6 months. I don't know if you posted any photos so I can't tell you anything more at this point.
It was visibly better two weeks ago. You couldn't see the thinning BUT it was longer. I buzzed it approx two weeks ago and the weird thinning circle was less visible then prior to starting minoxidil 6.5 months ago . But as it grew in over the last two weeks it seems thinner -even patchier than When it was longer. Should have taken a photo....
