Well, I've been at 2x/day 5% Minoxidil for about nine months now and am pretty pleased with the results. Here are the before and after photos.

UPDATE: after the problem I had with side effects during my first trial with Minoxidil, I resumed with a 1x daily regimen back in early November. After a week or so, I escalated to the recommended 2x daily regimen, and fortunately I have experienced none of the side effects I originally did...

Well, I've resumed using Minoxidil, but am using it once a day instead of the recommended twice. I don't think it's affecting my sleep like it was at twice daily, so the plan is to continue to roll at once daily for now and possibly consider ramping up to twice daily after I feel conformable at...

I experienced significant side effects at the recommended dosage, so I want to try starting more slowly and see if I can work my way up.

I think I'm going to take another run at this and start very slowly to see if I can abate the return of the side effects I was experiencing. Since it seemed to effect my sleep, I'm going to start with half of the recommended dosage and only use it once a day in the morning. If my symptoms...

Well, after about ten days my sleep returned to baseline, so all is good. I've only got a bit of thinning in the front of my scalp (my crown is lush), and I'm wondering if I should try baby-stepping it back to see if I can get some results in a targeted area. Like use half the recommended dose...

Three weeks ago, I decided to give Minoxidil a try with the recommended twice-daily regimen of the Kirkland 5% liquid I purchased. I experienced no topical side effects of any kind, but noticed that it was effecting my sleep pattern, as I was sometimes waking during the night, having vivid...

I bought a bottle of Alpecin for under $10 and thought I'd give it a shot for my fine, thinning hair. Many of the reviews I read showed satisfaction with making hair feel fuller and some reporting that they thought it helped grow more hair as well, but I'm always skeptical about the legitimacy...

I've been reading up on lots of user reviews both here and elsewhere, and I'm getting a bit wary of the side effects being reported. I seem to be particularly sensitive to medications (if there are side effects, I seem to get them), so I'm getting cold feet. I may just start slowly and see how...

New to this forum, and I'm experiencing some thinning on top (which is more prominent in my photo due to just getting my hair cut). I just ordered a six-month supply of Kirkland Minoxidil 5% liquid and am thinking of giving it a go. I'm 49 and have noticed thinning in the last several years...
