Appreciate the response, all the best. Is that the only treatment you are on currently?

Yup, had an allergic reaction to minoxidil in the past so I try to avoid it.

Interesting... So fin alone seems to be working for you? Is your hairloss under control? What about regrowth?

Apologies for the questions but i realise i am getting more helpful stuff here instead of from the three specialists i have visited.

I'd say without finasteride; the hair in my crown area would've receded much worse. I don't think there has been any new growth but rather it's held onto existing hairs.
This seems to be the case for most people.

The goal for most people here is to get on finasteride & get a hair transplant.
Hope this helps.

Yea i can live with that, as long as my current hairloss stops and i get to maintain my current hair. Any significant change in quality of hair thinning wise?

Not entirely sure to be honest, I think they just grow/fallout then grow again.
