Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted November 17, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2021 Currently taking 1 mg of finasteride and 0.5 mg of dutasitirde. Thinking of adding oral minoxidil but have heard some horror shedding stories on the drug. Anyone have any solid growth? Would love to hear from the community.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 18, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 18, 2021 I take about 2.5 mg of oral min per week, no sides. I didn't experience shedding either, my arm hair and body hair seem to grow a lot faster too. My hair looks healthy, can't say it's grown anything back, but definitely maintaining it. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

So you take 2.5 mg weekly? I thought the dosage was 2.5 mg daily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolocos Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Melvin do u take only oral Mixodiil 2.5 mg per week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted November 18, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 18, 2021 I'm on 2.5mg and have noticed lower diastolic blood pressure and slight ankle swelling. I'm assuming it has helped my hair somewhat but it's impossible to say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member andrewfaliro Posted November 18, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 18, 2021 I've been taking 5mg per day for about 12 days now. So far no sides or any progress that I can see. Normal amount of shedding, nothing alarming. I am guessing it takes a while (a few months at least) before any sort of results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come you only take 2.5mg weekly? Did you start on that dose? Or did you have to reduce your daily dose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spring15 Posted November 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2021 I went all in with Oral minoxidil. I've been drinking 10mg kirkland liquid a day (5mg twice) for nearly 4 months. No negative side effects I've noticed. My shedding has reduced drastically. Also slight hypertrichosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
