id just like to keep the hair i got and if possible get some regrowth...
pop some pills a day and all fine... thats all i “obsess” about... not much more i can do anyway, so i dont think about it most of the time... probably not even every day...
yeah maybe i send you one later, but most likely not before sunday evening, if o dont forget it... weekends are busy and im not at home at all...
Let's get you on the highest octane possible.

oral min?
of course oral... topical didnt do much... kirkland did in the beginning, but gave me rashes all over... i then switched to some
other brand with better ingredients even, but it didnt do much (didnt loose what i gained from kirkland), so eventually i switched to oral min...

Good to hear you getting progress, I have been drinking 5mg minoxidil for about 2months and then my DR finally agreed to give me prescription of 2.5 mg per day. Wants to see how my body reacts before increasing or maybe not refilling script after 30 days. Not sure if it is just me but less shedding or hair in sink after shampooing, almost none and hair stylist said on Tuesday that I have great hair and no problems.

I also take Avodart. 5mg about 5 times a week and Nutrafol hair supplement pills.

yeah i got no idea... fact is i get regrowth where there hasnt been hair for years... if it is enough, i dont know... yes and no^^
would like more, could live with maintenance...
i mentioned it quite a few times, whatever i did, i did regrowth on the (receeded) hairline, but the crown isnt getting much better... for all i know and read everywhere, it should be the opposite...

whatever, i tried quite a few things, now its dutasteride and oral min and that seems to be quite good...
i dont intend on staying on 10mg forever, if i am satisfied, i go back to 5 (maybe even 2.5) and see if that is enough for maintenance...
i just read about people who try some radical approaches (though a lot of them are transitioning), figured as long as i dont grow tits its okay and went for it...

got to say that i never have any side effects from anything... i never get a headache, im never hungover, nothing...
so might be i just tolerate everything, or might be nothing works^^
so just because i take 10mg, doesnt mean i tell you, or anyone for that matter, to do the same...
better listen to the doctor...

2.5 mg is plenty. I get slight facial edema from 5mg, but no better results. Also, though It works and is commonly referred by janey, I would advise against drinking the liquid. It doesn’t seem as effective as the pills when using lower amounts. Also the measurement isn’t as exact.

cant you just order it somewhere?
if i would go the regular route here, finasteride prescription is about 100 dollars, a month worth of finasteride about 60...
one bottle of minoxidil would cost me over 50...
i can order online without any issues (with some approved online pharmacy) and oay like 20 dollars a month for oral finasteride and dutasteride (probably less)...

You think pill form is better, he gave me 10mg pills to be divided into 4 or 2.5 mg.
