Quick report, I was getting dark circles and I noticed some wrinkles so i purchased some collagen tablets. These along with drinking more water has helped tremendously, I recommend them to everyone.. facial skin is way better and circles/eye puffiness has almost gone.
Anyone feel slightly more...
Hi all as promised another update, 7 week update.
Still on 3.5mgs a day, shedding appears to have to have stopped. Hairs darkened and people have been commenting this past week that my hair looks thicker. Personally I havent noticed a great deal but it is still early.
Side effects, somedays I...
Hi all,
5 weeks in and another quick update.. currently going through a slight shed nothing drastic however I have buzzed my hair down for convenience anyway. I'm keeping positive as last time I had a shed on topical minoxidil my hair did grown back thicker.
According to the medication instructions on my loniten it states take once a day so it was obviously too much, besides I think it's good for your heart and liver which breaks it down to have some rest bite
Yeah I've had a few comments from people at work today saying my hairs looking better so it must be working, and I'm just not noticing it as much. As for random hair growth fortunately not, arm hair and chest hair has noticeably thickened and darkened.
I've been on medication a month or so shorter than yourself, with small improvements. From the many threads I've read these things take alot of time.
You mention working out 4 to 5 times a week, are you a natural? Do you consume high amounts of creatine or protein shakes with HGH additives...
Another quick update!
Had a couple of occurrences where I've felt my heart beating rather fast.. checked using my smart device and watch and can confirm my heart rate has raised by about 5 to 10 beats per minute from my average after taking the oral minoxidil.. this tends to last for a few hours...
Either of you guys used the topical before the oral version, if not it could be the initial shed you get.. I started on the topical and my shedding lasted about 3 months.. too early to say regards my hair atm.. but body hair and nails are growing super fast.
Possibly however it's not permanent should you stop the use of Minoxidil. It's possible I may add collagen supplements to my routine to see if they have any overall effect on my dark circles.. however as already mentioned I dont believe Minoxidil is the cause.
No shedding HOWEVER I was a topical user prior. From what I've read those that are completely new to Minoxidil I.e no topical, have more of a chance of shedding.
I started finasteride around the the same time I think it was September.. havent noticed too much but then the fact there hasn't been further hair loss is a positive.
Anyway just over a week update on 3.25mg dosage of oral minoxidil, feeling great no sides such as shedding, slight fatigue and...
I already had 1mg minoxidil and 1 mg finasteride tablets combined (by a pharmacy) I went and bought 10mg tablets of minoxidil and cut them up into quarters. Hence the odd no. 3.25mg.
