      community C’est terrible - at my wits end

      in Female  443 upvotes 11 months ago
      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.

      The user was diagnosed with DUPA and initially treated with finasteride, then switched to dutasteride which worsened their hair loss. They are now returning to finasteride and adding treatments including oral minoxidil, Proscar, Viviscal, pumpkin seed oil, LLLT, and Nizoral shampoo, hoping for hair regrowth.

      Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
