A user is considering using finasteride for a receding hairline at age 22, preferring not to use minoxidil. Another user suggests finasteride can help maintain and thicken existing hair but is less effective for regrowth without minoxidil.
The user has been using oral finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss, with slowed hair loss but little progress. They are considering adding dutasteride due to concerns about crown thinning.
The user has been using finasteride for over three years, which initially stopped balding and caused regrowth, but recently noticed hairline recession. They started using topical minoxidil two months ago and are considering switching to oral minoxidil and possibly dutasteride.
Missing a few days of oral minoxidil won't significantly affect progress, but may cause temporary increased shedding. Resume normal dosage once the delivery arrives without doubling up.
The user started oral minoxidil (2.5mg) and finasteride (1.25mg) for hair loss but experienced decreased libido, weaker erections, and sleep issues after a week. They stopped finasteride and are considering lowering the dosage due to concerns about side effects.
