how long do you think it took for the shed to stop. Im on about month 5 now, and it seems to be slowing. 2 months in and i was shedding a ton each morning.

Sorry to hear that but this isnt the first time ive heard such a report

I got my dermatologist to write a prescription. She started with 2.5mg and moved me up to 5.

On it now. I think its helping the back of my head. But my hairline is getting worse by the day

Did dutasteride destroy the overall thickness or hurt certain areas in particular? I noticed dutasteride did nothing for my hairline, in fact i think it made it worse. I dont know if the OM is hurting my hairline , but its def not regrowing anything in that area for sure. Im currently taking OM, finasteride (daily)...

Just an update. About a month ago i got my dr to double my dosage. Ive been using the oral min for about 4 or 5 months now. I think it has clearly helped the back of my head. its still thinish, but not nearly as bad as it was around Feb-April of this year. So its helping there, im almost...

I may give it a go. I microneedled a few years ago with various topicals and no results other than a red bloody scalp. Maybe with the oral, its worth retrying

Not good to hear.... but i think ive had better results on OM over the past two month than i ever did with 10 years of topical. Head hair doesnt look much improved, but i can clearly tell ive had increased body and facial hair. Hoping that translates to my head in the next few months... fingers...

Ive been on dutasteride and finasteride for like 10 yrs now and its effects are wearing off, which is why im now on OM. Honestly i still have enough hair to look like a full head, but it takes 30+ min a day of combover and hairspray to pull off. I owe any remnants of hair i still have to the dutasteride and finasteride...

Thanks. Ive noticed more/darker hair growing between my eyebrows and temples. Ive had to pluck a few cause they were noticeable. But im only on 2.5mg a day right now. When i finish this round im going to ask for 5mg. I cant really say my hair looks better, but it doesnt look worse. Its taking me...

When you were shedding, did you lose ground around your forehead and temples? Were you able to grow those back or did only the vertex come back? Thanks

wondering if anyone else can share their experience 1 month in on oral minoxidil. So far all i can tell is shedding seems to have increased like a mo fo. Sink is full of hair each morning. Head seems a little thinner too. Not sure if this is a precursor to potential growth or not. Havent had...

Been using it since November. Although not as often as i should. Either way, its not doing anything positive that i can tell. Doubt ill reorder.

If all goes well with the Chinese approval, how much longer would it take before it was approved in the US? Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you!
