For those for whom Minoxidil works...

[Topper]

...Can you please explain to me whether you can feel it working?

I'm having trouble determining whether it works for me. I've always thought that for something to work, it must feel a little bit different- in other words, feel like something is different "up there".

For example, when I was a young lad with Acne, I'd apply a cream and totally feel it burn and itch, etc. It just meant to me that it was doing something.

I've been on minoxidil for 18 months and have never really felt anything. I mean, there has been some irritation but that may have always been there. I'm skeptical of minoxidil's success on my hair if I can't feel it working. I don't know if I want to spend any more money on it ($50/month in Canada) if it's not doing anything.

If it's been successful on you, can you tell me whether you could "feel" it working? Maybe I'll stick with it if you couldn't feel anything either.

Sorry to be so vague.

Thanks

You can feel it working by running your fingers through a head of hair. Don't worry about feeling anything, worry about the results.

You've been on it for 18 months, how is your hair doing?

Yeah if minoxidil works for you youll see the results and feel more velous hair when you run your hands through your hair.

18 months is a long time to be using minoxidil with no results. Chances are if you stop it you will get a shed tho...it's probably kept some hairs alive.

Sad but true. :cry: You should have seen noticeable results within a year max. Unfortunately minoxidil doesent do wonders for absolutely everybody.
