Personally, i would ADD 1.25mg of finasteride (buy the generic proscar and break into four) to the dutasteride. Start the dutas + finas at least 1 month before your cycle, ideally 3 months if you can wait that long. These two drugs SHOULD work synergistically. Use the Nizoral twice per day. Rogaine (minoxidil) will help as well.

I would also consider dropping the dosage and the duration (as the androgen build-up is usually what leads to side-effects) i.e. 300mg/week for 8 weeks.

U can definitely slow it down, maybe even stop it for a bit, if not longer..

BUT.. after plenty of experience dealing with this almost 3 years now, since i started getting concerned...

I would suggest you start with things that do not cause SHEDDING before they start working... propecia, rogaine, and dutasteride, all cause shedding,, which even tho some literature might say is not permanent.. IT MOST LIKELY IS PERMANENT.. before they start to work to preserve your hair..

so I would go with Nizoral Shampoo the stronger one from Canada.. and also I'd try an anti-adrogent, like Spiro .. both of these do not cause a shedding stage..

Give them at least a month or so to gain control off the situation, than another month or two to see if it halts your hairloss.. Since there is no shedding stage, you will not be freaking out 2-3months in as with Rogaine and Fina/Duta when it causes the shed stage..

If it works great.. if it does not.. than U can move on to the stronger products..

For me, after playing with all the other stuff, that is all I use right now, and it seems to be very effective, I still got a good hairline, and when I run my hands thru my hair when I wash my hair, I have no hairloss.. and I'm on TEST + TREN at the moment.

I shampoo daily with Nizoral.. leave it in there for a good 10min or so.. massage it into your scalp before rising it off.

and Spiro I try and use it 2-3 times a week, just leave it on scalp overnight, and wash it off in the morning... sometimes I go a week or so, without using Spiro, but once I feel my head getting itchy, i put it RIGHT ON! to stop the itchiness, ... cause from what I've noticed, that itchiness (inflammation) seems to go hand in hand with hairloss.

when does that shedding phase happen and how long does it take cause i believe i am in it now,its my 2nd week on finasteride started it when i started my cycle.peace

text book answer is about 3months in there is the shedding phase...

my personal experience, is about 2months in, and mine usually ends 3months in..

so there is def. a variance between individuals.

being 2 weeks in, would be very early.. that's not even a month in.

I would put an anti-inflammatory on your head.. order some nizoral or spiro.. maybe even Head and shoulders dandruff stuff could work while u wait for the nizoral to arrive.. There is also a US legal to buy nizoral version u can get.. I would imagine it is in the dandruff section of the shampoos..

Some people put salystic acid, on their head (u can find it in the acne section) to supposedly unclog the hair follicles, and keep those pores from clogging up, getting infected and causing inflammation. Help the DHT and testosterone and the oils (sebum) to be washed out.

I personally did not like Salystic acid. I did not give it a long time to work, but I do not use it. it seemed to aggravate the situation, maybe due to acidity Ph Level change of the scalp.
