Nope, zero shedding but almost no regrowth or tickening. It's not even 4 months tho but I've completely stopped shedding for the first time since 2019. I need some regrowth tho.
Do you take only oral min? Im 3 weeks on 2.5 oral min, 1mg finasteride and 0.5 mg dutasteride and im shedding tons

Does the shedding phase on this stuff kick in later? I just started last week and had the opposite effect of shedding easily half what I normally do. Wasn't expecting any change for a long time, but it was very noticeable. I'm only doing 0.5mg twice a day

I've had an increase in body hair too. Though I've noticed new growth around my temple points, can't tell my hairline though because I've had a transplant
yeah i had some little regrowth, too... but nothing that made much of a difference...
my plan was going on 10mg for regrowth and then to 5mg for maintenance... didnt work that way...
now that i added topical again, it grows better...

Those who did/did not get results with oral minoxidil, could you also say how you got on with topical too?
you dont have to, i just do that at the moment...
minoxidil never did much for me... when i started it was working good, then i had to switch brands and it didnt work anymore, so eventually i tried oral...
oral works, but i dont think it is the miracle drug that people tend to say it is...
i would even say that if topical works for you, better stay on it...

Hi mate, could you give an update please, now that its been a couple years?
did you take topical minoxidil for some time before you switched to oral? or were you straight onto the oral from the start
about 3 months ago I switched from topical to oral minoxidil 5mg daily. I've been shedding quite a bit in the last week or so. Do you recommend to stick with it and shedding will stop eventually?
