I've been to a few drms here is Aus, they all tell me that long term studies suggest that 2% works just aswell as the 5%. The only difference being, 5% works quicker initially and drops off, while 2% is fairly consistent.
Dont know to what extent these claims are accurate.

This poll is kind of ridiculous.

We already know that minoxidil regrows hair.

It's been proven over and over again.

Been using it for 4 years and I still experience periods of thickening/regrowth, although I believe I'm an unusually good responder. Started finasteride a little over 2 months ago and I believe in combination with the minoxidil, it's beginning to work wonders. The top and front are thickening, the crown is filling in quicker, and I have dozens, if not hundreds, of tiny dark hairs pushing through all over the front/top. I think within the year, I will have hair like I haven't had since I was 25. (going to be 37 in a couple weeks)

I'm still using it twice a day and I guess I will continue with 2 apps per day until I no longer see improvements in my hair. I think a lot of my success with minoxidil is because I've very gradually increased the dosage throughout my use....although that wasn't really intentional. The first couple years I probably applied it once a day more often that twice because of work and the grease factor. I've been working from home for over a year now and have been able to use it faithfully twice a day. In fact, I've had 2 sheds/periods of thickening in the last 12 months, the most recent in the last 6 months when I started using 3 ml or so a day. I'm back to 2ml per day and will stick with that for a while.

Thanks Stax, I hope it continues! Off topic....I'm surprised your 30% minoxdil/Community Drug friend hasn't infiltrated this forum with his load of crap. What a loser he is.

LOL, yes he is a loser aint he? He already got banned from HLH for using racist remarks to a user, and he knows he'll get flamed here forsure, its so obvious he's a salesman. He does post at regrowth because there isnt a moderator there. Im flattered his loser life is now devoted to trying to make stupid coments at me, lol. Good Luck!
