Hey all,

Little while since i've been on here.

Last week was prescribed a combo tablet of 1mg finasteride and 1mg minoxidil. I wasnt even aware you could get minoxidil in pill form. Id much prefer to pop a pill than rub sh*t in my head every day.

Anywho... has anyone had experience with this? I've been doing reading and people say you should use a diuretic but from my readings you really need to be taking upto 40-100mg to condone this.

I've got a 3 month prescription.

I'm very nervous. Just like I was with finasteride i suppose. I'm sure you can all empathize. In saying that, I'd probably swallow plutonium if it would help.

Anywho, I;m only diffuse thinning at the hairline. So hoping this will help as I've been on 125 mg finasteride for about 6-7 months now with no real change.

I'm almost considering giving finasteride another few months to see how it goes. People always talk about a shed. My issue is I've always had so much hair that ive always shed a lot. ever since i can remember. So it hard to distinguish between losing hair and a shed.

Anyway, any advice, support is appreciated.

Love ya baldies!

PS I also take a lot of supplements and have just got some modafinil for work. Plus im a heavy pot smoker.

oral minoxidil is for blood pressure it might help your hair on top but it will also cause all your body hair to thicken

Oral minoxidil is some dangerous stuff! Be careful with it. How did you convince a Doctor to prescribe it?
