OK, how can I tell this story succinctly. 2016 was an asspit of a year for me, a bunch of really bad things happened and I got seriously depressed. Never been in my life but here I was, not wanting to do anything and if you can rationalize this, stopped taking my finasteride 1.25 every day for about a month. Now, as we all know, hair loss is not the fastest thing, the changes as slow but in this case they weren't. After that month, I snapped out of my funk and was horrified to see what had happened. A small hole had opened up in my crown and my hairline had weakened, even pulling back noticeably. I immediately jumped back on and began using minoxodil for the first time as well. The short term wasn't pretty. Things got worse before, you guessed it, things started getting better. This is 100% true, the hole in the back of my head covered back up and new hairs began sprouting from where they'd receded. It's been about 3 months and the difference is astonishing. I can hardly wait for the next several months as it should continue to fill and thicken. Now I know I'm a good responder but you have to trust me: use these drugs as your first, second and third line of defense. I also know some people are going to ask for pics but I was so down I didn't bother and frankly don't want to see the result of not taking finasteride ever again. Fire away with any questions but if you are considering it, take the leap like now.
