41-year-old female experienced slow hair thinning, took finasteride for a year, then switched to spironolactone. Irregular periods occurred, seeking advice on long-term side effects and considering a third medication.
Medication caused hairloss, which stopped after discontinuing the drugs, but hair hasn't regrown yet. The user is considering seeing a doctor for further advice and possibly using biotin supplements.
The conversation is about seeking non-medicationhairloss treatments that don't affect fertility. Suggestions include microneedling and ketoconazole shampoo.
Minoxidil effective for regrowth but causes dryness; finasteride stops hairloss but may affect hormones; dutasteride powerful but reduces libido; RU58841 thickens hair but expensive and risky; dermarolling improves blood flow and results; aminexil overrated and not effective. Dermarolling beneficial with both minoxidil and finasteride.
The conversation discusses hairloss treatments with varying dosages of finasteride, oral minoxidil, and microneedling based on the level of hairloss aggressiveness. Specific regimens include 1.25MG finasteride 3-5 times per week, 2.5MG oral minoxidil daily, 0.5-1.5MM microneedling weekly, and 0.5MG dutasteride 1-2 times per week for more aggressive cases.
