Do you make it yourself? If so, what's the formula? I've been using a store bought overpriced brand.

Gonna have to take a pass on the scrotal application. If locally targeting the 5AR in the scalp were an option, I'd consider that. Nuking systemic DHT consistently gets me side effects.

What about progesterone cream?

Ru gave me bad sides. Half a dosing of Fluridil (Eucapil) seems to be helping. Not knowing anything more than what you've provided, my best assumption is that the decrease of DHT conversion has led to an increase if free T which your follicles are reacting to. I'd introduce Eucapil before minoxidil...

It was a 150mg Hawthorne supplement from GNC, but any one should do. Hope it helps.

I had the same cardio symptoms your having after using 4% for maybe 1.5 months. First noticed a fluttering sensation, like if your heart was walking down the stairs and tripped down a step, then regained footing. This came on slow so at first I thought it was just anxiety induced. then it...

Eucapil is working quite well to reduce shedding. Was losing about 50 hairs in the shower nightly and am now once again back to 20 or so. Since this post I ceased applying in the morning (an hour before minoxidil), and changed to at night. I'm still getting some minor palpitations before bed, but I...

Unless I have some obscure genetic predisposition to this, I don't understand how I'm not seeing more cases of this floating around. I tried RU for about a month before this symptom (along with an accompanying pain) scared me off of it, and now I've been on Eucapil for less than a week and am...

I was on 5mg for probably a month before lowering it, so it's hard to say how much it impacted it. But I think it's safe to assume I would've had better results with 5mg. The point of diminishing returns for oral mix has got to be >5mg.

Exactly what Diglett said. I've been on between 2.5mg and 5mg for the past year. I had to lower it due to excessive bloating in my face. My face is normally somewhat gaunt so I actually didn't mind the effects...until I did. Still on 2.5mg but would love for a way to deal with the puffiness...

Just a thought, and I'd be surprised if it hasn't been tested...But micro needling may produce the effects necessary to mature vellus hairs to terminal state.

I didn't get blood work done if that's what you mean by number. I diluted the .5% into a .1% and still got sides - primarily impacting my quality of sleep/ability to stay asleep. They started after about a month of once every 5 day usage. It sounds like most people don't get impacted by such a...

There was a definite spike in libido for me, presumably from more free test. The second thing I noticed was my sleep very slowly going to sh*t. I'm normally a heavy sleeper, and I was waking up 4-5 times a night unprovoked, even with melatonin/weed. This happened when I tried topical finasteride as...

I'm going to halt the topical dutasteride out of concern for cumulative sides over time. I have two unopened bottles of .5% from Mwamba that have been refrigerated since the day they came in. If you'd like them both for $80 message me. I paid $200 for three bottles when I first ordered them. Moving on...

Yep I never stopped topical dutasteride while using zix.
