community ~6 years on Fin + 3 years of Min. Seeing zero progress.
The user has been using finasteride for six years and minoxidil for three years with no noticeable hair regrowth. Suggestions include switching to dutasteride, considering a hair transplant, and trying microneedling.
community Why do so many people trash on finasteride?
Finasteride is effective for hair regrowth, especially on the crown, but can cause side effects like reduced libido and erectile dysfunction in some users. Opinions are mixed, with some reporting positive results without side effects and others experiencing significant issues.
community An *insane* RU58841 success story
RU58841, oral and topical minoxidil, finasteride, and ketoconazole shampoo led to significant hair regrowth, though some suspect a hair transplant. Concerns about RU58841's side effects, like anxiety and heart issues, were discussed.
