Oral minoxidil

[Testisthebest15]

Been on it for 7 days, 3 drops a day, no sides, but dam my hair is shedding a stupid amount, i guess thats good? For more hair to grow then?

How’s the shedding? Still shedding a lot? I am considering adding a low dose of oral minox. Would be nice to help stimulate some new growth and I already put RU on my head and that’s tiresome in itself. Taking a drop or pill is so much easier and some claim it’s more effective. Only thing that scares me about minox is the shedding lots of people report.

But the shedding goes away, it just in begginning, its not permenant. I just started .5 mg fina today. Along with 3 drops oral min, which is 4 mg about.

I just had hair starting to go away on temples, i just dont want to lose libido, and so making sure to keep that thought out of head.

I totally agree oral stuff so much easier i just take it along with my vitamins before bed. Then just get on with day or night.

To have all that stuff to put on head and everything is too much.

As long as it comes back, and my libido is not suffer, i will be good.

Along with this taking 150 mg trt.

Yes i am shedding, but i was shedding before this, hence starting.

Will update in future

I plan to use Ethanol and PG, same as I use for RU, when I eventually get around to ordering my raws

Going to crush up my fina pills for now and make topical using. What is PG, is that PEG Propeleye Glycol?

@Aeons still trying to calibrate dosage as it causes heart palpitations.
Have stoped for now and will soon resume at 2.5mg once a day.

Did you get heart palpatations from 3 drops?
Get a dermaroller if you havent already. I've used it 2 times now (once every week) and I'm already seeing some small results.

Just buy fina powder. Why do you want to take fina as a topical?

No heart stuff,

I am getting powder, just want to start asap. I topical solution of .025% causez 27% serum dht, and 59-60% scalp reduction, which is same as oral.

I want dht in my body

I use the 0.5mm, some will recommend 1mm and 1.5mm do not start with that. 0.5mm is uncomfortable enough, so get this first if you want to try.
I just go over entire head once a week. If you have a lot of hair its better if you get dermastamp.

I want DHT in my body as well but I remember that finasteride didn't give me any low DHT sides. I even felt better using it. I will try again and see. I have some finasteride raws. Hopefully I didn't get fake or underdosed fina.

Did you get labwork though? To see what serum dht levels were?

Just dermarolling right now(0.5mm). I also started ketokonazole shampoo 2-3 times/week. I'm gonna check my testosterone levels before I start finasteride again.
I listened to derek (MPMD) on youtube and it seems like minoxidil is the last thing to try. I might get on oral minoxidil since I only did topical and it slowed my hairloss down significantly but I think I'm one of those that don't get the full effect of topical minoxidil so I'm gonna try oral later.

Did you get any issues with 3 drops of minoxidil? Did you get heart palpatations?
Whats making me wait is the sides from oral minoxidil.
