To anyone reading this: Minoxidil + fin/dut will turn back your balding by a few years and stabilize it for more than a decade, in almost every man.
Yet fin/dut can cause brain fog, depression, anxiety and low libido. Some claim those side effects can be permanent, even after stopping the drugs.
Bonus tip: 5mg oral minoxidil is vastly superior to twice daily 5% topical application. One can drink the topical solution if pills can not be acquired.
Bonus tip 2: Microneedling weekly massively improves results.
Finasteride gave me severe depression and loss of libido. After stopping it I am fine. I am on 5-15mg oral min a day.
If you have any questions, let me know. I am very confident in my knowledge of male pattern hair loss / AGA in men.
