May 9, 2025 – Started oral minoxidil + topical RU58841
Nov 2025 – Switched to oral minoxidil 1.25mg/day
Stopped RU58841 before starting dutasteride
Jan 20, 2026 – Started dutasteride 0.5mg/day
May 2026 – Increased oral minoxidil dose
July 28, 2026 – Increased dutasteride to 1mg/day
Photos attached — first 3 from March 11th, rest are from past 2 weeks
Does this rate of progress look normal for the timeline and doses above, and is it worth holding at dut 1mg for a while before considering anything higher, or is there a reason to push further? Also curious if anyone has tips on telling a genuine plateau apart from a temporary shed after a dose increase. Appreciate any input, trying to decide whether to stay the course or tweak something.
