Finasteride at NW5?

[WarLord]

Hello fellas!

I've been in finasteride (1mg/day) for about 1½ month and my hair is even worse than before I started finas (I understand that shedding is a part of the whole process).

I heard/read somewhere that finas works best the ~5 first years of hair loss. What do you guys think, I have been losing my hair for approximately 4-5 years but had decent coverage all over the scalp a year ago (NW3-4).

As you can see, the hair loss changed rapidly on just a year. Does a NW5 have any benefits from finasteride or is it better to jump on dutasteride immediately?

I'm on minoxidil since late 2010 and ketokonazol since 2011 and supplements (MSM, Omega3, Vitamins) as well.

Where are you from? If you needed large doses of dutasteride, I can send you the powder (as I was talking about it in another thread). But it can take several weeks, until I check its efficiacy.

In the meantime, you can start on small doses (like 0.5 mg/week), because it is a strong stuff and you can avoid unneccessary shedding.
