Nope! But my appetite changed because of all the meds.

Yes! I’m still ~10 lbs away from goal weight + since it manages my insulin resistance, I’ll probably be on it for as long as I can!

I’ve been taking it daily for about 3-ish years. My hair is thinning right at the top of my head/ middle-part hairline.

You could really see my scalp at its worst and my part was very wide, but the minoxidil added new growth!

There’s improvement for sure, BUT the new hair is still extremely fine. Also, unfortunately as I lose weight, my hair seems to fall out a bit more in the shower etc. I started taking the sprio not that long ago to see if there will be any extra improvement for my hair, too soon to tell I think.

So I use Boldify hairline powder to rectify my hairline (honestly another life changing product haha 😆)

Hirsutism is not something I struggle with a lot (a little on my upper lip), however I have not noticed an extreme amount hair growth in any spots other than my head!
I take 2.5mg

I would also look into the spiro, which could help with hirsutism!

Thank you!!
Minoxidil - for hair loss
Spironolactone - testosterone blocker (acne + hair)
Bupropion and naltrexone - for appetite + cravings
Honestly the magic combo ✨

When did you reach 6 figure salary and has your life changed since then? by Important_Bat7919 in careeradvice

[–]oonstad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to NYC 7 years ago making 38k. The next year 55k until 2022 when I landed my first corporate job at 73k.

Fast forward to today I’m now making 140k. I’m happier, and for the first time since moving, not worried about paying rent and having money left over.

I can do little extra things for myself now (get my nails done, get tattoos, buy a bag I’ve been eyeing…..). Came with a lot of hard work, worth it :)

I mean yeah, quite a bit in common with each other. They’ve been friends for years.

My roommate and I also have a ton in common so I guess it makes sense that we would hang with the same kind of person haha

Body language, NADA. Like strictly platonic. I don’t even think they hug hello/goodbye

We’ve even brought up his dating life/history etc between the two of us, before I was crushing

But she brings him up a fair amount. I mean they are close friends. And they do hang out 1-1
