I was a long term 5% minoxidil user myself and I was a good responder. That's why I think WarLords interpretation of the data comes close to reality. You should show a bit more tolerance towards Bryan. He's an ultra long term poster with a huge influence esp. on newbies. He must be at least 60 yrs...

Nut ache, growing level of reduced libido, ed symtoms, very badly influencing sex life, general tiredness, I felt more sick day by day, no drive - it's not tolerable for a longer period of time. There was a clear build up period detectable. By far more and heavier sides compared to finasteride. Recovery...

When I tried RU we were a group of 3. It was RU from Kane. 2 had to stop immediately due to sides. I had to reduce to ~ 20mg/d and tried it for over 1 yr. Can not say whether it did really help in any way. I'm now back on low dose finasteride ( as el dutasteride is also ), which I can tolerate much better than...

That means even guys who seem to tolerate well RU start to see sides when they give single shots, or few shots of double or triple usual daily dosages. You can imagine, that the average joe will see sides on much lower dosages, esp. when used in accumulation ( daily usage ). May I ask for your...

If money is an issue generic finasteride and generic minoxidil is unbeatable cheap. Also generic micon cream is really cheap. Do you think that micon is of any use for you?

Tried to find out myself why Berlin university researchers stopped out of a sudden, but could not find any concrete facts. What remains is the educated guess that RUM with SLN is not the big deal. No researcher would stop if it worked, esp. when you think of the potential for various skin diseases.

You seem to ignore one additional important fact. In order to get some kind of effect the guys use huge amounts of RU typ. ~ 100mg/d. In the private forums they did measurements and got ~ 2-4% systemic absorption with alcoholic vehicle. That means ~ 2-4 mg of a very potent antiandrogen in your...

>>>>> Be warned - you have a high risk to lose your gains on regular minoxidil if you switch to proxiphen. I've just read a post in the private forum from a reputable guy who switched from regular minoxidil to prescription proxiphen and lost a lot of hair. He gave proxiphen 7 months, but could not...

>>>>>> We all know that RU is a very potent antiandrogen. Ppl use 100x the amount ~ 100mg RU daily with basically the same vehicle as topical finasteride. Isn't that much much more dangerous esp. longterm??? You get a lot of a very potent anitandrogen into your system. It's no surprise that so many of...

Is it possible to post a link or the study itself. Need to readjust my finasteride dose and it might help .... Thank you

>>>>> Dr. Lee sold his minoxidil and xandrox also in a version with betamethasonvalerate for a long time. I tried BMV in alcoholic vehicle several times but always when I started shedding increased. That's why I didn't dare to continue....

Well this sucks...Ignore my previous post (quoted above). The morning after I posted this, I woke up to the familiar minoxidil like irritation. Red itchy rash all along my hairline where I applied the DNC-N. Not as bad as with many minoxidil solutions I've tried, but still there. Not sure what...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If RU did not work for U, what makes you believe RUM will do? Do you think you can increase the RUM dosis due to a better side effect profile? I ask because I'm also limited to a very small RU dosage by sides. And this small dosage does not allow to replace finasteride fully for me...
