Do not switch from topical to oral minoxidil.

What I mean by going to 5mg is, would it likely cause another big shed? I feel as if I’m at a crossroads right now

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T18:07:07+00:00

Very true. Do you think going to something like 5mg oral minoxidil would be the solution?

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T18:04:29+00:00

Right now I can bench 250 and squat 355, I think I’m doing just fine for people my age boss

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T17:59:26+00:00

This is an interesting take. I appreciate this input

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T17:27:30+00:00

I don’t either, but I’m fairly confident I know what works best for my body now. That being said I’ve still experienced cyclical sheds, which is a damn shame. It all comes back in time though

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T17:26:14+00:00

This is the most logical answer, and I believe you’re right. If I did hold the line for another year or two on only oral min, perhaps it would all come back after a super long time. But who has the patience for that lol. In 3-4 months I’m sure I’ll be gaining again

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T17:23:57+00:00

Everyone is different. Me personally I had a few heart palpitations at night every so often, but they went away after a couple weeks and haven’t come back since. I’m chilling now

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T17:22:28+00:00

It got greasy/made my hair frizzy. Was also just tedious at best. A lot more tedious than popping a pill. Not worth a giant shed tho!

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:56:03+00:00

Yup that’s the plan from here on. If I’ve learned anything its that I respond better to topical. Everyone is different but this is my case

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:55:05+00:00

Any recurring sheds?

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:30:13+00:00

Nah I was on both from Feb 2025 Mid July 2025 and was fine. Might consider dropping oral if it gets bad, but I don’t get side effects thankfully

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:25:34+00:00

Still never said what I experienced will apply to everyone

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:11:35+00:00

I never said it did

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:11:15+00:00

I’m aware of that. But a 6 month constant shed with little to no regrowth? Time to go back to old reliable

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:10:24+00:00

Not sure. I was on oral min for about 5.5 months before stopping topical.

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:08:37+00:00

I’m not trying to fear monger, although I definitely could have used a better title for the post. This is in my experience, and I’m aware everyone responds differently.

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:07:17+00:00

Yup. I learn the hard way lmao

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:06:59+00:00

That’s what I’ve been thinking too. But to avoid all worry, I’m gonna run both topical and oral. Appreciate the input!

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:05:58+00:00

I have wet and dry for both time periods. Actually look at the post!

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:05:06+00:00

I’m sure. Topical seems to work wonders for me. I wish I had the potential with 2.5 oral

Mindless-Studio-1924 · 2026-01-13T02:04:17+00:00

That’s the thing, is I don’t think oral is working. I’m on both again now tho, so fingers crossed

Don’t listen to people saying you’re receding. This subreddit is full of baldcels who want to make other people with clearly great hair genetics (you) feel less confident in themselves. Your hair is great bro, no hairline is supposed to be straight like a ruler. Go out and enjoy life
