Hi Hellouser,

Just asking once again, would you mind giving an update how it is going with RU for you?

Thanks!

Hi Hellouser,

Just asking once again, would you mind giving an update how it is going with RU for you?

Thanks!

I hopped off RU for a while and lost some density. I recently got back on it, was shedding a LOT for a few months and things have somewhat stabilized, however hair is thin and hairline has receded further in the last couple of years.

I saw that you are doing RU once a week now. Do you think that is working as well as once a day did for you? Did reduce the interval because of side effects? If so, are they still a problem using it once a week?

[unbalding]

Ok. Nevermind.

How about minoxidil? Are you still on it?

[BiqqieSmalls]

Great regrowth my friend!

Couple questions: 1) Are you still using CB? How would you rate its efficacy? 2) Are you still on Minoxidil 5%? 3) Have you gotten more regrowth since 2013?

[FearTheLoss]

hell, did you ever end up using CB and did you get any results?

Let me guess, RU stopped working or is not effective.....my experience is such.

this is awful to say, AAPE, VPA, Finasteride,Nizoral, Minox, caffeine is starting to work for me......premature I would say but that is the deal after one month. Of course I will report back if there is progress. From shedding to minimal loss that is a movement forward but way too early to talk about it.

I'm off RU about a month now. No shedding my hair actually seems to look a little better. Not sure what to make of RU but can't justify paying out for it right now if it's not really doing much for me. I did have what appears to be decent re-growth not long after initially using it, but it seems to just stop working after a while unfortunately. A quick fix but not much else. Just beginning to accept that nothing will work any time soon and not holding out for anything but great if something does come along. Don't get your hopes up guys just get on with your life as best you can and enjoy it because you'll look back and regret stressing and wasting time worrying about hair loss.

I tend to think RU works for some for a period of time. I THINK it is temporary but love to be wrong on this. Good luck.

[diffuseloser]

Works for sure but only for a while. I'd keep on it if it want so f'ing expensive.

[Illusion]

Yeah I feel the same about RU, it worked pretty good the first few months but it seemed like it got less effective after a while. I'm now almost at 8 months of usage and my hair line is thinning in new places.

However it's really hard for me to say anything about the efficacy of RU as I also use finasteride (1.25mg) and minoxidil once a day

[robodoc]

Ok, it has been over 2 years now. Does RU still work? I am thinking not and it does have some side effects, correct?

Why RU would be just effective for a while ? Disapointing

Maybe with CB it will be the same.... :\

[markusbdc]

I currently use finasteride and dutasteride.

Wow- That would seem to be a seriously castrating combination...Are you still doing them both? and if so how is your libido and mental status etc...? I have been on dutasteride for about a year now and it has been tough on me mentally...
