    Arrow Moving on after years on fin. What next?

    I started on finasteride in 2008. After one year on it, my hair was so thick, the result was just great. I experienced tremendous regrowth, except in the temples of course. I was about a NW2.5 and remained that way except the hair was so thick.

    I put up with the side effects (facial bloating, midsection bloating, very poor sleep, anxiety) for several years because the result was so good, and I also took dutasteride along the way, but in 2014 I stopped, I couldn't take it.

    My hair of course went back to thinning. I'm looking for something other than finasteride to help maintain until a new drug comes out. If I can get regrowth again of course that would be amazing.

    What are the options currently? Is there any treatment that doesn't block DHT and has a different mechanism of action?

    Thanks.
