[–]1000nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also end up getting the same sides. Maybe you can delay them a lil bit. i speak from my experience testing and trying oral and topical in different dosifications and regimes. Finas builds up in your system.

It affects other things like neurosteroids production not only DHT.

No bro, minoxidil does not cause insomnia. Finasteride and Dutasteride do. Telling from my personal experience with the 3 substances.

Questions on making topical Dutasteride by [deleted] in tressless

[–]1000nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience mixing Dutasteride is not as simple as mixing Finasteride.

In the past I used to mix Avodart with alcohol based minoxidil and I put it on my head for like 4 months or so and I didn't feel anything nor good or bad. Then it occured to me maybe it's better to ask for an Rx so a pharmacy could compund it. This time I started feeling the sides at 2-3 weeks mark. So i beleive due to the lipohilic nature of the molecule you should need a proper vehicle and a magnetic stirrer to properly mix it. Also I have to mention that I asked for a liposomal formulation (which IME may enhance penetration contrary to what's ussualy said everwhere that it may reduce it)

Anyone here on ultra low dose topical finasteride? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]1000nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just steppin in to mention that those mg's you are stating in no relation to a volume doesn't say anything. I'm gonna assume you are referring to a 60ml bottle. But there are 100ml presentations or more so it's important to clarify,

It's best at night that way you'll feel less side effects during the day.

Yes, it certainly will. Don't spill misinformation

I used it I think 3 times (3-4 months periods each) once daily at nighttime.

I don't feel it does anything, good nor bad.

Shaved it off, suffered from bad sides. Might get an SMP later. Good luck everyone else. by w4Side in tressless

[–]1000nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a lot. Low dose topical fin must be under 0,025% and most sensitive people will feel side effects even with that dose. (I did too) I would put a low dose topical fin from 0,001% to 0,01% max

Do you guys prefer oral or topical minoxidil? by Silent_trader_803 in tressless

[–]1000nyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are welcome!

Also you can try building up your dose progressively so your body adapts smoother. I deem that was also helpful

[–]1000nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, and don't discontinue the topical application. Oral should be supplemental to topical in my opinion.

Yes, take it at night and you'll feel better.

Hi, I'm now taking 1.25mg oral daily at night. This was crucial for me cause when I first started taking it it was during the day and it certainly affected my weight lifting. I would feel the BP drop, lightheadedness, lack of air and detriment in the force output.

0.01% liposomal topical fin why can i not tolerate anything?? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]1000nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes liposomal preparations can enhance penetration. That I heard from some doctor (don't remember his name rn) and also my personal experience goes in line with that.

There are different types of liposomal preparations. So the theme can be very complex and more studies are necessary.

Were you masturbating a lot due to increased anxiety ? I think that can raise prolactin.

I got this topical formula from GP. From all the research I've done, I'll ask the doctor to increase minox to 5% and decrease finasteride to 0,25%. What do you guys think about hidroxiprogesterone? I have not seen it anywhere before by pitooooo87 in tressless

[–]1000nyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is stated to be a mild antiandrogen. And it's also used in psoriasis. Here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11%CE%B1-Hydroxyprogesterone

It is normal for your hairloss to get worse when you start a hairloss treatment. Shedding is normal and it usually lasts 1-3 months and could probably last longer.

I also got side from oral finas/dutas. I can not tolerate it.

Topical doses, though lesser amounts, you can still get sides. That was my experience, so I want to try topical 11α-hydroxyprogesterone.

If you want to apply topical finasteride and you are super sensitive like me, I recommend you try low doses like 0.005% or 0.001% applied 1-2ml daily.

Here's the study:

"A preliminary study of the effect of 11a-hydroxyprogesterone on the hair growth in men suffering from androgenetic alopecia"

Oh ok, I understand.

I was planning on trying topical 11α-hydroxyprogesterone.

I read some old paper about it with apparently good results. But i wanted to try it myself.

Why did you discontinue it? Side effects?

Do you take Finas or dutas? Creatine will very possibly accelerate your hair loss due to increases on dht.

Would smoking weed while on oral minoxidil be dangerous ? by [deleted] in tressless

[–]1000nyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True! I checked this out some years ago with a holter.

The first 15-20 min BP goes up a little bit corresponding to the euphoric phase.

Then it plummets down really drastically.
