community 1.5 years of Fin, switch 3 months ago to Dut, with 5 moths of Min too

community I’ve been on Finasteride for 6.5 months. (5 months on 0.2mg and 1.5 months on 0.5mg) Here are the progress pictures.
A 21-year-old has been using finasteride for 6.5 months, starting with 0.25 mg daily and increasing to 0.5 mg, experiencing improved hair quality and no significant side effects. They have not used minoxidil due to convenience and health reasons, and they noticed progress in hair growth, particularly at the crown, after about 4 months.
community Does 1mg dutasteride get you most of the way there?
1 mg dutasteride may be sufficient for most people, with higher doses showing diminishing returns. Combining dutasteride with minoxidil and ketoconazole can enhance results, but oral minoxidil may cause side effects.
community Shed 2 years into finasteride and minoxidil
A user has been on finasteride for 1.5 years and minoxidil for 2 years, experiencing worsening hair shedding, losing 300+ hairs per wash. They are concerned if this indicates the medicine isn't working and are seeking others' experiences.
