figuring out what path to take

[HarryHonolulu]

hey all

I am getting back on meds following a period of "let's see how I do with topical finasteride". Didn't work for me and I think my hair took a hit.

I'm back on Propecia, Minoxidil, Nizoral and Foligrowth (hair supplements). 

Should I wait 3-6 months and see how I do one these before moving to something stronger like low-dose Oral Minoxidil or Dutasteride?

Keep in mind that in my years of using Propecia, Minoxidil etc. I never saw any crazy growth (although I know realize that, more than re-growing, they were delaying hair loss)

Give it up to 12 months with finasteride - the art of medication is to find the balance between using the lowest amount of a type of action, yet still benefit from the efficacy. What’s the point in dropping your DHT by 95% if you are able to maintain and potentially regrow by dropping it by 50-70%.
 

Plus, you still want the heavier options in your locker should you need to play a trump card later on in life.
