Can you guy suggest I start using Xandrox 15 once a night and continue minoxidil every morning? I need regrowth.. I lost a lot of hair... thanks!!

I would think your downturn in results would have more to do with not starting finasteride (Propecia) untill relatively recently. For the first 2 and a half years of your using minoxidil, DHT was allowed to attack your follicles un-hindered, this downturn is most probably a culmination of this process.

I must say that Dr. Lee's Xandorox 15 is the best treatment on the market. Out of all the treatments I'm taking (dutasteride, spironolactone, tricomin, and nizoral) Xandrox may be all I'm responding to. I was always a great responder to Minoxidil though. After struggling with rogaine for about a year or 2, The Xandrox is soooooooooo much easier.

J frank, Yes I do use both about 8 hours apart. Sometimes I skip the rogaine 5% and just use the Xandrox. I must say that my results aren't that much better than just using Rogaine 5% but it did give me a boost. I still think it's the best hair loss treatment which goes to show that hair loss treatments are faaaaaaar from perfect.
I like Xandrox because it is easy to put on and absorbs more minoxidil locally in less amount of time and of course putting it on once a day is still better than 2 applications of any 5% solution. And it actually works. I am a walking proven fact, which I have trouble saying for any other treatment I've used.
I may be in the 40% for Minoxidil response but in the 10% for not responding to DHT inhibitors. These numbers don't compare with real life statistics. Sometimes I think Merck has concocted the best snake oil product out there and websites like gourmetstylewellness.com and HLH are the pivitol accomplaces of their grand rip off scheme. "The big 3"... what a joke!

Just my opinion here, but using Xandrox 15 once a day is NOT a substitute for using minoxidil twice a day.
Even if you are on the Xandrox 15, you still need to get in that morning app of minoxidil if you are serious about expecting regrowth.
This is perhaps the BIGGEST lesson I have learned about hairloss treatments... Using minoxidil twice a day is critical for regrowth. And believe me, I have been on the sh*t for a LONG time, even dabbling in various forms of designer minoxidil such as Xandrox 15, and have tinkered enough to know that the key to minoxidil regrowth is the twice a day application.
Once a day for maintenance, twice for regrowth
Sounds corny, but it is TRUE.

Yeah, while I agree its true for most people, there are some people who experience increased hair counts from using it once per day myself included.
Especially new hair growth on my hair line (not temples) and crown.
And I only use it once per day.

interesting Gardener. I might think twice before skipping any 2nd applications because I don't even want to take the chance. Besides, I never pay for my OTC 5% minoxidil anyway.
