    Going Through A Shed With Oral minoxidil....

    I have been on oral for 2 months now, after about 8 months on topical. I take 5 mg, as this was the prescription I was given, would rather have tried on 2.5mg (I did split the capsules in half for the first 2 weeks to ease into it though. I did get a shed which worried me but I also Havnt...

    Any Experience With Very Low Dose Oral Minoxidil (less Than 5 Mg)

    Also interested to know other people’s results and side effects... had not even considered oral minoxidil until it was suggested by a hair transplant surgeon I had a consultation with. He noticed my scalp wasn’t in great condition and though the Minoxidil foam I am on could be contributing. He...

    Hi, just wondering if your regimen includes Nolvadex regularly? And if so what is your dosage...

    Hi, just wondering if your regimen includes Nolvadex regularly? And if so what is your dosage and has this been for a long term? Thanks!

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    Now as soon as I take finasteride again, even 0.25, it flares up again quickly. I tried sticking with it on 0.5mg EOD but it was just getting worse. Its better now after 2 weeks off. The only way I could take finasteride again if I could combine it with an AI or SERM but the jury seems out on...

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    Thank you for this. Regarding topical finasteride, its something I would like to give a go (will know pretty soon If I am getting side effects). Are there any available in the UK that I can try, or perhaps the Morr F Minoxidil and finasteride topical could be worth a go? Im a little bit against the...

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    Haha makes sense.. May I ask how often and what dose you take of Nolvadex and how long you have been taking it?

    I have heard it is a side effect, has anyone got a reason for this or any experience?

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    FUE is the route I am probably destined to head anyway, but agreed I have researched alot and having a preventative (such as finasteride) is highly recommended if you have a transplant, to maintain the native hair. Would minoxidil work as the preventative after FUE should I be a decent...

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    Thanks, will take a look at Regenepure. Have heard of oral minoxidil but sides look a little dangerous? Does it work for you, and why not topical minoxidil? I looked into topical finasteride but seems to give people sides as well, and the only place that do it are the Pharmacie Parati (Im in...

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    This is something I have considered to use with Finasteride but only seems worth it if it can be used indefinitely? Which sounds like a bad idea considering how powerful the AIs and SERMs sound? Does anyone have any experience long term on Nolvadex/Tamoxifen with finasteride, not just to cure a...

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    I have read this alot... but then I have read about people using it or 5 to 10 years or more and seem sure that it helped them at least maintain?

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    Gynecomastia - basically enlarged/swollen male breast tissue. I was on finasteride for 18 months absolutely fine and then started to get it. Quit for a while then tried again but literally started again straight away. My advice is give Finasteride a go, once you are on it a while you forget...

    Finasteride Alternatives (had To Quit After 18 Months)

    Long story short I had to stop Finasteride after 18 months as developed actual gyno on one side (im 30 so maybe my natural test has dropped too low who knows). It is so gutting that for the majority of that time hair improved and my DHT itch and scalp issues pretty much cleared up completely...

    Finasteride And Gynecomastia After 18 Months

    Hi all, This is my first forum post on here... was hoping for some advice from anyone experiencing a similar problem or anyone with any insight at all. So I noticed a few years ago that I was thinning out on top and I suddenly starting getting that itch that many on here seem to know all to...
