8th Week: I've found it -- i.e.what works for me (Propecia, Avodart, Spiro, DHT & hormones ...)

»
» 0.5 Dutasteride daily
» Rogaine Foam 2x daily (should I only apply it to the crown and vertex or
» also to my hairline)?
» Nizoral 2% cream (how often do people suggest?)
» 1g Lysine daily
» 2,000 mcg Biotin daily
» 4 g daily MSM
» 10g of L-Arginine (this is said to stimulate the release of growth
» hormone, especially in those who exercise)
» Multivitamin
»
» Any thoughts?

I am officially declaring what works for me. This regime has caused a lot of vellus hairs to sprout and some of them seem as if they're turning into terminal hairs. Judging by what I am experiencing now, it looks like it will just restore a couple years worth of loss and that it will take more than 6 months to show really noticeable effect simply because it will take that long for the short hairs I have now to grow to adequate length and thickness.

I am sure it's mostly the Dutasteride. I have experienced very minor shedding, but more than usual. Usually, because of what I was using before -- fish, borage, flax oil and SP and beta sis -- I had almost no shedding. But I had less growth. Now growth is happening.

I switched to topical Dut in aloe vera gel and I will take 320 mg of SP a day with 120 mg beta sis.

This is not a miracle, but the results are good.
