Avodart to Propecia? Has anyone done this?

[2020]

the shed phase, is not a shed phase, it should be renamed to the damage phase!
propecia is doing more damage than saving your follicles, you are upregulating testosterone which does the same thing as dht...in certain peoples cases it can damage follicles than slow hair loss!

Propecia is doing more damage???

Propecia is doing more damage???

yeah...

the shed phase - when users experience icnreases in oil, sebum, itching, sheds - that is MPB accelarating at a massive speed! because of tesosterone upregulation.

BUT

if those shedded/damaged mintarised hairs were NOT in thier last cycle of growth users can expect those hairs to regenerate i.e thicken up/grow back because the true cause of baldness has been reduced...but if they were they are gone into vellus/resting phase and propecia alone will not revive them.

i'm 26 and about a NW 3 with slight thinning around the crown and a bit of diffuse in the vertex etc, i can't complain in the sense that it's manageable with nanogen/topic etc but i guess everyone wants to manage it long term and save the embarrassment of people pointing out they are going bald. I'm fortunate enough to have a brother who is older so i can see the pattern going, and i have to say i am much better off even with my loss than he was due to medication. But its safe to assume because of the inherited NW7 pattern we both have aggressive loss.

I never noticed any side effects from propecia apart from in the first few months which subsided and wasn't a big deal at all, it never worried me. With Avodart i got a strange skin reaction i guess like small hives which come out sometimes and headaches etc and generally felt a little like crap. I'm a pretty open person in terms of medication and have been a chemistry student for a long time so i'm not at all paranoid about medications or thier effects, but it was a noticeable change going from propecia to avodart.

How's avodart not licensed?
Anyway. I've switched from proscar then to avodart for a few months then back to proscar and didn't notice any shed. I just switched back to avodart a couple of weeks ago. What totally devastated my hair and caused the biggest shed EVER was switching from Kirkland brand minoxidil to some garbage snake oil on ebay that claimed to have 15% minoxidil. Dualgen 15%. STAY AWAY FROM THAT SHIT AT ALL COST because it's nothing but water. This is a warning to anyone who's come across this shit and is thinking about using it. DON'T. NEVER in my life did I have a shed so massive and altering to my hair like the one I had on this garbage.

I see that the forum's "Psycho" still hasn't found a good specialist to cure him from his hysteria. Don't listen to this wackoo. He is lying like a Gypsy. The use of DualGen had nothing in common with his sudden hairloss. He was losing his transplanted hair for about half a year before.

according to this logic if they are on their last cycle they will still be gone if you don't use it, so what's the catch? a couple of more months with baby hairs that doesn't mean anything cosmetically?
