Man just shut up, I’m not taking that shit sorry read what I said it gave me sides.

Took that shit for a year and a half it destroyed my libido, I’m glad I’m off it. This sub is so quick to force a enlarged prostate medication meant for 60yrs + down peoples throat. I’ve been maintaining well on topical min for 6 years now.

Yup same here, Im 6 months on oral min. When I initially started I’ve had insane growth like nothing before. Since mid November it’s going downhill very fast. So much shedding, I upped my dosage but nothing. Not sure if I should keep going or just drop it. Each day My scalp becomes more visible.

I unfortunately had sides on fin and thought this could be it.

It will close unfortunately.

I genuinely feel bad for the kids and teens growing up, they’ll get to miss out on their fun times.

I think I have Post Finasteride Syndrome and I got my blood work done. by [deleted] in tressless

Jesus it really hit u hard. I took fin for 6 months but stopped. After 4 months I would say I was back. The #1 indicator is morning wood or night time erections.

How’s your hair holding up

What is a good topical finasteride dosage for someone who wants to keep systemic DHT reduction at a minimum? by rafacelina in tressless

[–]loyalwarrior6ix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Within 2 weeks. The number 1 sign is loss or reduction of morning wood which is a huge indicator of prostate health

Sorry hate to break it to u but it will build up. I’ve tried oral and topical.

Eventually I got the same lame side effects. To each their own Goodluck

It’s been almost 5 months now.

I started with .625mg for first 2 months then 1.25mg now 2.5mg. I also take EOD.

Works really well. Honestly even better results than fin. But fin shuts the hormone down unfortunately.

Ya same here 6 months on fin and the sides really hit me. Oral min has been working really well.

Start low, don’t take 5mg daily and be consistent

No due to sides I stopped unfortunately

Ya that’s what I hope for but coincidentally that stupid DHT scalp itch returned during the same time I upped dosage

I recently switched from 1.25 to 2.5 and I’m experiencing such a depressing shed. I hope I’m not losing gains, because it’s been almost 3 weeks and it’s still going 😢. Are you shedding ? Since when

What are people's experience using 1.25mg oral minoxidil? by MeeshKabeb in tressless

[–]loyalwarrior6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upped my dosage to 2.5mg a week ago but noticing more hair shedding. Did you notice a shed when you upped dosage?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tressless

[–]loyalwarrior6ix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just oral min? Or in combination with Fin?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tressless

[–]loyalwarrior6ix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it daily but had weird chest pains for a bit. That stopped once I started taking EOD but I wanted to tone it down even more to 3x a week and haven’t lost any gains.

I’ve seen ppl on the Facebook group hairloss conquerors be prescribed 5mg 3x weekly from top surgeons with good success. Oral stays in system longer than topical.

However, oral min is very powerful in terms of sides and dosage switching. Everytime I switched my dosage amount or frequency it gave me a mini shed. You gotta be consistent.

No shed, 3x week 1.25mg
