If you feel no affect? What does that mean? You’re not supposed to feel an immediate affect from taking minoxidil. OP: I haven’t done all the research, but in general, you shouldn’t be drinking something that is meant to be placed topically. Your body often metabolizes things differently when...

You’re a fool if you’re drinking liquid minoxidil.

Nothing of note, but I regularly groom the rest of my body (shave chest, shoulders, little bits on the back, & keep my beard trimmed low etc.), so I likely wouldn’t have noticed any change if it did occur. I’m unsure if body hair growth is a real concern of yours, or if it would be an added...

I struggled big time with sides (mostly brain fog and mental issues) for years as to where I got off of it entirely and swore I would never get back on the “poison” again. Eventually, I caved and tweaked and tweaked and tweaked the dosage & frequency until I found what works for me. I only take...

Side note: tbph, I’m still not sure what the best option is to fully resolve the under-eye water retention issue, since it does still pop up *every now and then*…I entered this thread because I actually did have my blue moon last night and I’m puffy this morning— and I drank a higher amount of...

@Einstein i had the same problem you describe. I ended up cutting my dosage in half (2.5mg morning, 2.5mg night) and the frequency/severity for which I had the intensely puffy eyes (I had it every day until noon-ish) subsided greatly. The good news is that I didn’t see a decrease in the efficacy...

After 2 larger (2500-3000 grafts per) failed (minimal growth) transplants with another well-known surgeon, I very smartly went to Dr. Konior. We performed 2 smaller (300-500 grafts) sessions and I got noticeable growth from them, which I'm very pleased with. That said, I'm now at the point...

Pipeline: https://www.hairlosstalk.com/pipeline/ currently unmaintained... is there an alternative one-stop shop to see what advancements/trials are underway and the success/failures of them?

i know this is an old message, but i can't believe you told this 14 year old kid that he should seek to wear a wig right now. ffs. i pray he didn't take you up on that.

i realize i'm trying to make the drug work for me, rather than the other way around. i wouldn't be doing so if i weren't out of options at this point.

It's been 3 weeks since starting back on finasteride and I've began to experience one of my old side effects: terrible hangovers. Does anybody have suggestions on how to combat this? I never correlated the two (finasteride & hangovers) until I previously quit taking finasteride (I was on it for 4+ years...

i've been applying a 1% liposomial solution from farmacia parati for about 6-7 weeks now and have thus far not experienced any side effects (whereas on the pill, i had sides after 3 weeks). i've definitely experienced a pretty heavy shedding starting at about week 2, lasting 2-3 weeks. i'm...

I've been in contact with Italian pharmacy, Farmacia Parati, and they apparently now have reformulated a topical finasteride solution with the intent of minimizing side effects. I have a prescription written, and am looking for feedback prior to purchases, as it's quite expensive (140€ + 60€...

i think we're being trolled. that's a full head of hair

pipeline is an amazing feature. appreciate the addition!
