I think that I found something very interesting for all experiencing reduced hairloss or complete lack of hair loss long after discontinuing the drug (finasteride, dutasteride).
Text is about the drug Cyclosporine and provides very interesting information that Androgens Stimulate Immune system. The whole paragraph is about Cyclosporine that has an ability to shot down immune system. Interestingly shoting off immune system stops also hair loss.
If androgens operate immune system it basicaly means that androgen system is out of the whack in the first place, thanks to propecia/dutasteride.
The question is why are we running so low with adrenals then… 5 alpha reductase disfunction or something else… what is the answer. This puts a new light I think and is a living proof that the problem might by associated with adrenals in the first place, rather then neurological alone.
I would really like you Mew to get some comment on this.

I present the fragment associated with that.
Immunosuppression And Free Radical Scavengers
The immune response provoked by male hormones such as DHT probably plays the most significant role in balding. Stimulated by androgens, the immune system targets hair follicles in genetically susceptible areas to cause the premature loss of hair characteristic of male pattern baldness and other forms of accelerated hair loss.
Thus, a side effect of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine (which is used to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs) is scalp hair regrowth. It may be that cyclosporine is the most potent single hair regrowth agent known.
But the drug causes potentially severe toxic side effects when used systemically, including kidney damage, hypertension (high blood pressure)-and even death-which precludes its use as a hair growth stimulant. However, other ways (with no potential for system toxicity) have been found to inhibit the localized immune response that leads to hair loss.
