-- Trying Aldactone with proscar might help. There are other potent anti-androgens such as cyproterone acetate (not approved in the Us)and flutamide that might help you. Minoxidol 2% also works for some women. for more info on hair loss, go to http://www.regrowth.com, http://www.hairsite.com or http://www.keratin.com Moumita
