    Minoxidil oral skin damage is there hope to recover from it

    I'm taking literally the lowest dose possible of OM (0.625MG for now) and literally after 3 days I started imagining dark circles and bloating. Turns out I was eating like a pig and have always looked like uncle fester. I think a lot of it is in peoples heads. I'm going to be upping to 1.25MG...

    Has anybody stuck to a super low does of Oral Min (like 0.625-1.25 daily)

    I've been on 0.625MG every day now for a bout 2 1/2 months - I swear I feel my hair looks better? I don't know I'm probably imagining it. My arm hair, eyebrows, and leg hair is definetley thicker. My doctor said I can feel free to go up to 1.25MG daily but I'm still unsure if I want to... I feel...

    Has anybody stuck to a super low does of Oral Min (like 0.625-1.25 daily)

    Has anybody stuck to a super low does of Oral Min (like 0.625-1.25 daily)? I started about a month ago at 0.625MG a day - thinking about upping to 1.25MG a day. So far I've obviously not noticed any regrowth as it's only a month in - I do think I've begun shedding a bit but who knows. I still...

    Oral minoxidl for hair loss - is this right medication?

    I've been taking 0.625 now for a few weeks and so far nothing... i did notice my weight went up but I'm not sure if that's my eating so I'm monitoring it. I have an appointment on March 28th with my Dr to see if my blood pressure remained the same and discuss upping the dose. I think I'll stick...

    Oral minoxidl for hair loss - is this right medication?

    is it true that the risk of any side effects at 1.25MG - 2.5MG are low low? I was started at 0.625 and the highest i want to go is 2.5 (hoping to do 1.25 only once a day)

    Oral minoxidil & Water Retention at a low dosage

    What’s an example of a diuretic I could possibly take to offset the water retention? Would that work?

    Oral minoxidil & Water Retention at a low dosage

    I guess I’m just worried that I’ll blow up in weight and I won’t get any gains. I’ve struggled with weight issues my entire life and in the last 4 years I’ve gone from 250 lbs to 170 lbs and as much as I want hair and density I wouldn’t want this to derail my progress so I was curious on the...

    Oral minoxidil & Water Retention at a low dosage

    Do you think low dosages are worth it? I don’t know if I’d want to go higher than 2.5MG once a day? Maybe I’ll start again and see what happens at the low dosage?

    Oral minoxidil & Water Retention at a low dosage

    Hello! I’m a 32 year old male who has diffuse thinning. I’ve been on finasteride for about 8 years now and there’s been no change so that’s good. Recently I learned oral min is a thing and I was able to get a prescription from my doctor in Toronto for 0.625 daily with the eventual plan to move up to...
