Hang in there, minoxidil shedding is traditionally a positive sign that you’re a responder to the drug.I have been on finasteride for over a year and have constantly been shedding since the first pill. Slightly below baseline on it as well. Started 2.5 mg oral minoxidil 7 weeks ago and I’m shedding like hellll. It’s so damn distressing to see
The results of some people’s result look crazy good so I hope I’ll get some thickening. Theoretically as it’s taken orally as opposed to topically there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work.
I would evaluate at the end of the year as you start to see the potential gains at the six month mark. In the meantime try to use something like Toppik to hide the impact of shedding?
I was somewhat worried about taking it long term but the various studies out there have reassured me that low doses won’t be harmful.will do man, best of luck! Also are you worried about using this stuff long term even if it helps quite a bit ? I wanna it’s Almost a risk I’m willing to take
