    Oral Minoxidil not available, any solution? Currently desperate.

    Hi everyone, so, basically, I've been taking oral minoxidil (5 mg) for two years now. I saw a lot of improvements with no sides at all, but guess what? It's lacking everywhere here in Italy and I can't even ask to ship it from another country. The lack is supposed to cease around January 2024...

    Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

    I think I’m gonna wait until April, just to understand where this shedding is coming from, I’m more prone to think it is due to covid, but who knows; if nothing gets better around april, I might start considering bica. Where can I get it from? Prescription is required in Italy + it’s hella...

    Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

    I’ve been on both dutasteride and spironolactone 100 for more than a year now, recently added E2 4mg which made me reach a Norwood 0.5(?), but I had covid in January and I’m experiencing such an extreme hair shedding; wondering whether it’s due to my pills losing efficacy (which I don’t think ‘cause my skin is still...

    Covid-19 related hair loss? Need Help

    Hey everyone, so, I had covid in January and four weeks later I started noticing tons of hair coming out, I’m losing CLUMPS despite my regimen (spironolactone, dutasteride, Min, E2) which gave me pretty good results. I don’t think pills started to lose efficacy, so I’m assuming I’m just going through Telogen Effluvium...

    please enter, hrt problems (I really need suggestions)

    Yeah, I know, you’re right. I pretty much played with my hormones and could have been worse, I stopped in time, hrt really gave me some unpleasant symptoms such as muscular atrophy and breast soreness. The fact that my situation could be reversible and that the up regulation thing is...

    please enter, hrt problems (I really need suggestions)

    Thank you so much for your response, I really appreciate it. You’re right, I should stop both E2 and spironolactone, but I don’t think duta will save my hair; the fact that brings me ti think so is that I’ve probably upregulated my f****ng androgen receptors, and nothing will solve it. I’m so sorry for...

    Hey everyone, I want to quit HRT even tho I got good results. Do you think dutasteride + spironolactone 100 are enough to maintain what I got?

    I gave dutasteride 6 months, I started shedding again after that time. And yes, I was convinced by that thread and now I’m regretting so badly. I think I’m gonna try to keep what I got with dutasteride and spironolactone.

    This really makes me feel depressed, if only there was a way to retain masculinity… I look really bad with a shaved head.

    Hi everyone, It’s been a while since I joined this site and I came to the conclusion that I wish I never had. Basically, I’ve started losing hair since 14, I noticed my temples were different from every guy of my age in school and it was falling at a fast rate, I was diagnosed with...

    Minoxidil Dosage (might be applying too much)

    Hi everyone, So, quickly: I’ve been using minoxidil 5% since April 9th 2019 with gooood results, basically, I started by applying 7 drops on the thin areas, BUT after two years I ended up applying 11 drops instead and this led to buying two bottles a month and of course, it got too much...
