    Thought on oral minoxidil? Experiences?

    I used 10mg at first and then dropped it to 5mg for the remainder which was about 7 months or so

    Thought on oral minoxidil? Experiences?

    I’d say, if you do start it, use a diuretic at the point of starting. Don’t mess around. My fluid retention happened the first week. So you will know

    Thought on oral minoxidil? Experiences?

    Haha it is what it is. I have a receding hairline, but I do shed randomly and get pretty thin. It seems to thicken back randomly too lol, but my hairline was murdered by inflammation which, if I could control, I’d prob stop losing hair

    Thought on oral minoxidil? Experiences?

    Yeah it legit grew my hair from a short under cut all the way down to my chin in like 4-5 months. It’s impact on hair is unparalleled to be honest. But it made my skin look like complete garbage, eyes were swollen and drawn, and like I said.. now I have this fluid issue months after stopping. It...

    Sublingual oral minoxidil: bioavailability and haemodynamic side effects

    So you guys doing sublingual are doing so to 1.) avoid the liver breaking down the drug so you can use less for similar results and 2.) to avoid the side effects like fluid retention, fatigue, etc..? ive been off oral min for about 7 months and I’m JUST NOW starting to regain composure. That...

    7 years on dutasteride and my free test has tanked

    Yeah but it took years and every once and a while I still get the occasional random day here and there where my scalp will get a few pimples from oils.. mind you, My test is very low LOL. So that may be the reason. Not the dht suppression

    7 years on dutasteride and my free test has tanked

    Dude trust me.. I tried finasteride and it gave me reflexhyperandrogenicity after one year of use.. insane oily scalp with pimples all in my hairline and behind my ears, increased sex drive, burning scalp, itchy scalp the whole nine. I quit that and was hopeless so I started dutasteride about 5 months...

    7 years on dutasteride and my free test has tanked

    I have a butt load because I’ve tried oral minoxidil too and had great regrowth from that. Destroyed me with facial swelling which I’m still dealing with 7 months off of that drug. But this thread isn’t regarding me showing my hair, more so, looking for anyone that has used TRT along side of...

    7 years on dutasteride and my free test has tanked

    Hey so I had my estradiol checked too and it was 24 on my first lab and 21 on the most recent and the range is 7-42. So it’s kind where it should be. I tried to have my dht checked on my first lab and it came back as 26 when it really should have been unreadable lol. My second Doctor which is my...

    7 years on dutasteride and my free test has tanked

    haven’t posted a thread here in a long time. Not going to go into everything I’ve used trying to stop hairloss, but four years into dutasteride I did notice I was very fatigued and gaining pudgy weight making me skinny fat.. I workout regularly so I just figured my diet was to blame.. Fast...

    Gyno from Finasteride, need advice.

    Aromatase inhibitors can and usually do cause hairloss though. Be carefully giving that info out.

    Prolactin "minitherapy" with SMI-1 (novel protocol for lowering prolactin locally)

    Apparently the treatment bayer is using targets receptors locally. I’ve read into caber on body building forums on dudes that use it on cycle and it’s in no way beneficial for hair.. in fact, caber can make you lose hair.

    Follica Microneedling Protocol Patent Disclosed

    I use dr pen a6 12 pin.. you can buy the needles on Amazon, but I’ve also been using this micro needling approach without minoxidil for 6 months now. It’s doesn’t help hair loss.. if anything, makes me lose hair due to damage LOL. Minoxidil is the key with this, but I’m done with that sh*t drug
