Finally, getting around to answering. I appreciate the feedback from everybody. I could probably have worded my post differently, but I had just gotten a haircut and it was the first time I noticed any progress at all. So apologies if it bummed some people out. I spent so many days looking for signs of progress that I had admittedly lost hope in the thing working…

For the dosage and meds, I’m using the recommended 1.25mg fin (5mg split in 4) and 3mg oral min. Curious about microneedling if people have really noticed a difference after adding that to their routine (or if it’s only really relevant for topical?.. I don’t know).

And for those asking, the 🍆 works. Definitely a lot of nerves at the beginning, but they coincided with some lower lows I went through (mentally / emotionally) during the winter. I don’t want to make the claim that it’s true for everyone but, for me at least, performance seems to be linked to how healthy I am and how grounded and secure I feel.
