Topical Finasteride / Your Experience?

[memoryboy]

What have been your experience – the ones who have tried it?

1. Why did you choose it? Because of the side-effects of the oral finasteride?
2. Did you start right away with topical or you tried oral first?
3. Did you have side effects from the topical finasteride?
4. Did you have side effects from oral (when you used that before)?
5. How long have you applied it to your scalp? Crown or hairline or both?
6. Where do you get it? What pharmacy or hair loss clinic? What is the monthly cost for you?
7. Has it stopped or reversed your hair loss?
8. How do you compare the effectiveness compared to the oral version?
9. Have you tried topical Dutasteride?
10. Did it have a shedding period when you started initially?

Thanks for your input!
