Listen i´m gonna share my experience, i know bimatoprost did not got to phase 3 for what ever reason but here it goes, recently the theory of DHT being the direct cause of MPB has been kida refuted not debunked but refuted in a sense, so me, you and everyone in here have DHT, what has been found in the scalp of balding men is high levels of PGD2 and low PGE2 and PGF2 alpha (this last one being bimatoprost, latanoprost and similars) then when this imbalance occurs it seems to create the proper enviroment for DHT to destroy the hair follicle, so this leaves DHT only as the effect and the prostaglandins imbalance as the cause, you dig
Now?
to my case: i am very very prone to hair loss, i have been dealing with it for years, i´m also a health care professional in an EU country so i have access to pharma grade meds and to do what ever lab test i want when ever i want, if it´s available of course.
I have been using finasteride since 2014 with kinda terrible side effects, ED, anxiety, kinda like hypogonadism, all this maybe becuase i already had low T before starting fin, not maybe i´m sure.
I also found that i responded very well to finasteride, it halted hairloss almost right away and i begun noticing my hair getting thicker, at the same time i was using minoxidil 5% with side effects like dark circles under the eyes and dry skin.
I lowered dose of finasteride to only 3 times per week with exact same results even after i started TRT at 120 mg per week splitted into 3 shots, no hair loss besides the typical seasonal shed i experience in late summer and fall.
When ever i added any DHT based compound such as proviron, masteron primo, DHB even at a very low dose my hair started shedding like crazy and that shed i could not stop even with dutasteride, the only fix was to stop the DHT add on, shame because i get insane libido on masteron even at a very low dose per week, also on DHB.
Ok fast forward to this day this is what i do
Minoxidil 5% 2 ml
Minoxidil 2 % 1ml
Bimatoprost (lumigan) in my country we have 28 eye drop bottles for everyday use, so i add 2 bottles to the mixx
And finally an antihistamin (to attenuate PGD2, it does not get rid of it) also eyedrops which is Ketotifen brand name in my country Zaditen also it comes in individual bottles i also add 2 bottles, that gives around 4.7 ml i just complete with minox until 5 ml and i use 1 ml every day and i prepare another mix every 5 days.
Since then i´am able to use any compund with no shed at all, but i only use them as my TRT add on so i never run crazy cycles but i´m confident this will stop everything.
I also take 0.5 mg finasteride 3 times per week and i plan on adding RU to this mix, i tryed ordering from anageninc but fucking Customs seized it since it came from the UK, now i got it from Actifolic hoping i have no issues this time, i believe this would be the ultimate stack to stop hairloss from any steroid.
Now i use my TRT with small dose NPP and small dose Masteron and my Libido is crazy high no joke, just insane and no worries about hairloss, also got a tennis elbow fixxed from the NPP.
I´m confident Bimatoprost works because on a trichogram follow up the dermatologist told me that if i was doing something different because my hair was getting thicker and that is from the bimatoprost, also when you don´t see bald spots on the barbar´s mirror, you know you are doing something right.
Kinda long but i think it may help to those who still care about hair
any guesstimate when Optis will be back and DHB will be available?
