Considering Altering Regimen...should I wait?

[ChiaPet]

I've been having good results from the big 3, but I was looking to maybe reduce dosages for a more economical approach. I mean, it's hard paying for school and books, along with this Propecia heavy taxation.

I'm still looking for regrowth, but can I still cut down to maybe 0.5mg/day and expect more regrowth? (I'm also hoping to fully restore my libido by doing this, as it hasn't been quite right during these 12 months)
I think I'm gonna get back on L'Arginine, and try it constantly for a month. (1000mg/day) Perhaps this will help too.

Also, maybe cutting Rogaine down to just 1x/ day (at night) - as it is kinda a pain in the *** to apply in the morning. It just takes forever to dry, but I have gotten used to it.

I don't know...maybe I should wait the full two years before cutting back on my regimen..I'm still looking for more regrowth, and I know that regrowth peaks at the 2 year mark, then starts to drop again.

Also, I REALLY want to add MSM, but I get stomach pain everytime I do. Is there anything to counter this? Will an antacid work or something? Drugs to counter drugs

For MSM, try getting Lignisul MSM. It's a form that is actually made for better digestion. I know NOW Foods makes it. You should be able to search for NOW MSM and that should say it's the lignisul version.

For your morning minoxidil app, I suggest switching over to a low-PPG minoxidil, such as Dr Lee's. It's not greasy, dries really fast, and it's actually cheaper by the bottle than Rogaine.

I was terrible about getting that morning app in before I discovered it. Now, it takes just a few minutes and I am out the door.

Hey Godfather, I mean Gardener Im just wondering why you dont use Dr Lees in the morning and night, rather than just using it in the morning.

Price. Dr Lee's is more expensive, and who needs minoxidil to dry that quickly at night?

IDIOT. It clearly says Dr Lee's is CHEAPER than Rogaine in the quotation youve just posted! You didnt even read the discussion which was taking place - you just thought you had a good opportunity to make a wise *** remark.
Anyway I was asking Gardener.

Sensitive...

It's cheaper by itself, meaning that if you bought 1 bottle of each, Dr. Lee's would be less expensive.

Howver, it you bought them in bulk, such as three Dr. Lee's #500 and 3-month supply of Rogaine, Rogaine would be much, much cheaper.

Hey Gardener,

I was wondering what kind of results you were having with the spironolactone applications to your temples and hairline?

BTW, how old are you? and how much success have you had in this crusade? I think we could all benefit from your wisdom. Is there a thread that contains your story?

Thanks a lot.

Good advice...

I find Rogaine is much cheaper than Dr.Lees because I buy it by the 3 pack and usually online (You cannot purchase 5% minoxidil in Canada over the counter).

I've been on MSM for about a week now, and I always take it after dinner. I used to get the crazy stomach pain because I would take it on an empty stomach - first thing in the morning with a coffee or something. So far, so good... My hair actually seems it has a little more life to it, but maybe I'm imagining things.

If MSM gives me anymore trouble, I'll go out and get the Lignisil one that you talked about, Fifty.

I'm going to stick with this regimen for a while longer before I adjust dosages and stuff.
