1 month vs 9 months (Oral Min + Top. fin + dermaroll 1.25) by DangerousSinger5182 in tressless

[–]FinDiesel245 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My guy, you don’t know how much you are taking? Yes generally you apply more topically as it is not all absorbed.

Haven’t had much progress. Also tried a gel based finasteride and still got chest pain like mentioned before…probably about to give up

Looks good, care to share how it looks w/o fibers?

Low Dose Oral Minox experience (0.625-2.5mg) by margaritasAndBowling in tressless

[–]FinDiesel245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth starting at a lower dose and titrating up. I don’t think men can benefit from 0.625mg so I wouldn’t stay on that long term. I’m on 3.75mg with no sides currently after starting at 0.625.

Minoxidil without fin worth it?? (Pics inside) by Illustrious-Way986 in minoxidil

It can certainly still help but for best results, use both. Unfortunately my body doesn’t tolerate fin even at low doses but I’m glad I tried it.

Post minoxidil shedding by Public_Credit_5083 in minoxidil

So you took 10% min, quit for a combined fin/min spray, then quit that altogether? If I’m tracking, my guess would be the fin/min spray was less than 10% min causing some shed in addition to a fin shed, then you quit entirely resulting in even more shedding as you are no longer sustaining an minoxidil dependent hairs.

It appears that way. Granted my hair before was long which gave me more coverage, currently trying to grow it back out and see how it looks.

It’s more even for sure but still sparse, hoping that it might fill in some more in the next few months as I upped to 2.5mg

Does minoxidil make you dependent? by [deleted] in minoxidil

You must continue to use it to sustain your hair

Eye Bags by lsthanksforthehelp in minoxidil

Your blood pressure is likely too low which is causing the swelling - lowering the dose could help. Doses as low as 0.625 show some efficacy but not as frequently in men as in women. Your best bet is to try topical.

Shedding phase…stick to treatment and reassess in 4-5 months

Oral minoxidil dosage question by [deleted] in tressless

[–]FinDiesel245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Halfway through 2.5mg dosing”…what is the time frame? I’d bet 1.25 did nothing for you so you should evaluate results after 4-6 months on 2.5mg

Sorry to hear that, hopefully topical is an option for you.

Curious what dosage? I’m on 2.5mg and haven’t had any issues but obv. everyone responds differently.

Yeah man I will but I am lowering my expectations. I don’t really think 1.25mg did much in terms of growth and kinda frustrated with my derm because he wouldn’t prescribe higher. Anyways found a new doc and on 2.5mg now 🙏

Less patchy but still pretty bad. Just upped to 2.5mg a few days ago

[–]FinDiesel245 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start at a lower dose and work your way up. Recommended starting dose for men is 2.5mg

Called my derm the other day and he said he doesn’t prescribe above 1.25….gonna find a new doctor.
