The user has been taking oral Finasteride and topical Essengen 6 Plus for hair loss and is experiencing increased depression. They plan to get bloodwork to check hormone levels and are seeking advice on which tests to include.
A user shared progress pictures showing improvement from NW 6 to NW 2 after four months of treatment. They are considering using exosomes to further reverse hair miniaturization.
Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
The user is concerned about hair loss despite using oral finasteride, oral minoxidil, and topical minoxidil. They are seeking advice on additional blood tests to identify potential causes.
The conversation is about whether low vitamin levels can cause hair loss. The consensus is that the user's vitamin levels are normal and unlikely to affect hair loss or the effectiveness of finasteride and minoxidil treatments.
