Comments about hair loss treatments you've tried or are considering:

Finasteride, since 1998, with the odd break. It has perhaps slowed the rate of loss, but never stopped or threatened to reverse it. In October 2011 I stopped taking the drug due to concerns over my libido.
Minoxidil, for a year. I had some initial success on the crown, but then all gains disappeared, and I didn't like the extra coarseness in my beard;
Dutasteride, for a year. No success at all, and dramatically reduced libido;
Topical spironolactone, for a year. No success.
Nizoral shampoo, for five years. Hard to say if it's slowing down the rate of loss, but seems so widely recommended I am sticking with it as my choice of shampoo.
Saw Palmetto. Tried before, during a break from finaisteride, without any noticeable difference. May try again due to libido problems caused by finasteride.

HT2, six weeks after

These photos were taken on day 45, just over six weeks post HT.   I haven't suffered much - if any - shock loss, so my hair now looks pretty similar to pre-op, aside from a little redness in the recipient area. This is largely covered now by the native hair.   The main contrast with my previous HT is that I have not suffered from any pimples bar a couple of tiny ones. By this...
