After like 14 years, I gave up minoxidil a couple years ago, and paid the price. Definitely lost a lot in my crown area. Just the hassle especially with applying dermmatch was just too much. I do regret it now but not going back on it either.
I was also on finasteride for same amount of time, 14 years, but my insurance stopped covering the cost so I gave that up too.
I can tell the difference, not only have I lost hair in my crown Area, but hair now is just thin and not healthy anymore.
Just had another FUD last week and Thinking about starting finasteride again. Just damn.... That's a life long commitment. And I'm 40 now. Surely side effects and prolonged use as you get older have to play a role for health concerns.
Finasteride.... Yes or no. ?
