6 months on meds

[HarryHonolulu]

Hey guys

Been on fin and oral minoxidil (I eat the all-in-one HIMS chews). Ingredients from the website say 1.1mg of fin, 3mg of minoxidil. It's been exactly 6 months and I don't see any real difference. I've had 2 sheds- possibly 3. Stopped counting bc it was making me anxious. I'm feeling sad. My hair feels weaker/stringier than ever before.

Am I out of the race or is there still hope?? 6 months seems like a long time

Hard to tell without pics.

You may consider increasing the min dosage , or/and moving to dut.

I had not seen any results with fin alone. It was min which caused results for me, and it was around month 3. But im a diffuse thinner.

Also worth trying is the microneedling. I believe it helped me a lot and when I stop microneedling i feel like i lose ground. 1.5 mm , weekly. I strongly recommend.

If you are only recessing, i’d say maintenance is good and recovery may be too much to expect. Many people cant even maintain. 

Good luck.

If you had some me shedding it will take some time to get back to baseline. That can also be a sign that new hair is about to come in. You should probably stay on it a few more months to see if it starts improving.
