    Adding 2% Minoxidil Instead Of 5%? (been On Finasteride For 8 Months Still Thinning)

    Hi, Get on the standard 5% Minoxidil. Consider what it actually is: 1ml of solution twice a day. It's easy. Even if there is a limited life on its use (I've never heard of a prospective study done for that over that length of time) it's likely to still at least buy you time when its usefulness...

    Is 2019 Likely To Bring A Cure Or Not?

    Maybe stop thinking about it as an illness that needs curing. If men who go bald hadn't manage to procreate/breed then evolution would have dispensed with the balding a long time ago. We're fighting against a stupidly complex, biochemical entity (the human body).

    Anyone Know How Long It Can Take To Recover From finasteride?

    This is no way to diminish your experience and I've never used finasteride but after always having a high libido I went through a very stressful experience a few years back (not hair or medicine related) where my sexual desire went to nil. For months. I saw a counsellor for a while and it...

    minoxidil Shedding Phase Hair Loss. Is It Normal?

    It's not an exact thing with the area you're applying it to. It will seep around your head. Plus some will end up in your bloodstream and therefore going everywhere eventuality even if in a reduced amount.

    I take back all my moaning about the spironolactone I ordered. It arrived today. And judging by the horrendous smell of this stuff I'm assuming it's all genuine!

    For anyone that wants to see ... Picture of current hair loss. Like I've said been balding since 22 (ish bit hazy now on exactly when!) Only been on Minoxidil that whole time (I used to have wonderfully think hair too ...sigh). I'm gonna be trying to at least halt this. Preferably try and...

    Cheers mate! I'll give it a week I guess. Little choice. I've tried searching for the tablets but they all seem to be either prescription or suspect sites. I'd make my own if I could find them .

    No never have. I do have a 0.5mm one in my cupboard from Am@zon which I've never used. Does it need to be longer? I bought it with good intention months ago but a bit of trepidation.. do you do it then apply minoxidil straight away?
