    Whats more important for Minoxidil, coverage or amount?

    How bout an answer from an old veteran :) I believe coverage is the most important factor. Whether it takes 1 or 3ml to get total scalp coverage, total coverage is paramount. I know Dr. Lee claims that anything put on the scalp will supposedly disperse through the stratum corneum...

    Nearly 2 years later and everything is still the same..

    Hey man good to see you are doing well. I still come around occasionally just to look around. My hair is maintaining as well. I pretty much gave up on significant regrowth. I just use minoxidil once per day and nizoral 2x/week. This has been enough for me to maintain. I dont take finasteride...

    anyone with proxifen results yet?

    I tried prox-n which is the cheaper form without prescription meds in it like spironolactone and phenytoin. I wasnt impressed. However, I only used 1 bottle. I figured wny bother when it has a bunch of stuff in it that isnt proven and its way overpriced. Proxiphen(prescription) could potentially be...

    Who here uses Melatonin pills to help them sleep?

    socks, if it takes you that much to sleep then you might want to be careful you dont develop a serious substance abuse problem :shock: Melatonin is one of the ONLY supplements I've ever used that really works. It makes me feel sleepy within 30minutes although its a "natural" sleepy feeling...

    any ine know any thing about this stuff

    Its crap. Just has a few vitamins that do nothing. The only vitamin that can help increase the health of hair growth(Biotin) isnt even in the ingredients although the name suggests it! You'd be better off taking Centrum, using minoxidil, nizoral, and propecia :shock:

    Hey guys been awhile since I've been here.. UPDATE

    I stopped finasteride a looong time ago. Personally, I didnt think it did much for me and I could tell a decrease in the quality of my erections. Dont get me wrong, I wasnt impotent or anything, but I just couldnt get "rock hard" which seemed strange to me(I was NOT imagining this). About 1...

    Hey guys been awhile since I've been here.. UPDATE

    Its not really new man, just what I kind of evolved into. I've tried: finasteride nano shampoo Prox-N spironolactone Dr. Lee's concoctions Saw Palmetto Folligen and probably more I cant remember. I actually like the Folligen and still use it occasionally. Sometimes the Rogaine...

    I FOUND OUT WHO MAKES KIRKLAND!!!

    Sorry I havent been around in awhile guys. Anyway, this is the first post I saw and I have to say TOLD YA SO! It has been obvious to me for 2 years since i started this battle that Kirkland was made by Pfizer since the bottles, lot numbers etc.. were identicle to Rogaine. However, you...

    rogaine contraindicated

    minoxidil works, Period! It has worked great for me and millions of others. I'd be screwed without minoxidil since I dont use propecia. Sure, minoxidil may stop growing hair after a certain point, but you can be sure that you'll have more hair than if you didnt use it. Personally, I just feel...

    is shower shedding enough to base treatment decision on?

    you are shedding. this could be normal shedding or the onset of male pattern baldness. Just because you lose "75 hairs a day" doesnt mean you are going bald. I dated a girl with long, curly hair who could fill up a brush with shedded hairs just from brushing after a shower but she had thick head of hair...

    Baldness and finding a job

    In sales, they will always prefer someone who is more attractive. I work in the medical field and whenever I see a pharmaceutical rep, they are always nice looking. The men are always tall and thin and have a full head of hair. The women are always nice looking. However, baldness WILL NOT...

    Generic Minoxidil is AWFUL, compared with Dr. Lee's formula

    generic minoxidil will work better than dr. lee's because it was designed to be a slower, more continuous release to the scalp via ppg. Lee's is a good product, but if it is completely absorbed in 5minutes, its harder for it to exert its therapeutic effect. The Rogaine formula was designed a...
