I Used Both Finasteride and Minoxidil with Great Results, But I Want to Stop One

Hi! About 1 year ago I noticed a bald spot on the crown of my head, typical for Male Pattern Baldness. After reading up on the issue I decided to try the double approach of finisteride tablets (Proscar) and Minoxidil spray. My doctor told me that it was unecessary to use both, but I read a few postings on chat groups about success stories taking this double approach, so I decided on that route. Now, a year later, the results are absolutely fantastic! The untrained eye would probably not notice anything. So now I am considering stopping either the minoxidil or the finisteride tablets. If I did stop either of these, and notice a regression, would resuming the treatment again bring back my now great hair? Which of the two would you recommend stopping as a test? Thanks for your help!

I don’t know your age or the degree of balding you had. That would make my impression inadequate to help you, based on the scant information you supplied me. If you are young (under 29 years old), then Propecia should be more important than minoxidil. I would get miniaturization studies and map out your scalp accordingly so that if and when you stop minoxidil first, you can follow the results with scientific measurements.
