I was on topical finasteride for 5 years and went oral finasteride last 8 months but started getting symptoms. I’m going back on topical finasteride 0.50mg

Your filming tipping your head down to see what the crown area looks like prompted me to do the same, and I'm glad I did. I look way thinner in the back half of the top of my head compared to the front, which made me realize I'm not applying my topical dutasteride/minoxidil treatment evenly back there. So thanks for indirectly helping me optimize my treatment protocol.

Thanks for your honest report Matt. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the information. I’ve been thinking of moving to oral minoxidil, but after hearing your side effects, think I’ll stick to topical. I tried propecia about 9 years ago, but got bad side effects on that so stopped. I’m still NW2.5, and nearly 50, so not too bad.

Start with r/tressless and you might find a way to create a stack that works for your specific goals and budget. Mine is dutasteride 0.5mg (3x/week) + topical minoxidil + tretinoin 0.05% + microneedling at 1.5mm (2x/month) + stemoxydine. There are many, many more elements you could use to compose your own stack. All it takes, is doing one's research and not being too afraid 😉

Awesome! Thank you for hope and honestity.

Have you considered scalp micropigmentation? I'm a stylist and I've seen some amazing results with hair like yours.

Hi. Are you dermarolling? And massaging the side pushing your blood upward?

So How effective is oral minoxidil as compared to topical...can u explain the differences u experienced while on topical and these 12 months on oral minoxidil ?

Hey Matt, can you do a review of Maxoxidil by HairGuard? They also have their proprietary growband. I wonder what you think of those products

Interested to know your fina 0,025% outcome.. I’m using this % with stemoxidine for more than 6 months not sure if is doing something.. thanks

So do you think the side affects from oral minoxidil will go even when using topical minoxidil? Also oral finesteride once a week, is that ok too or only when using topical finesteride aswell, thank you.

@incognitotorpedo42

3 ай бұрын

Oral fin once a week is unlikely to do anything without a topical as well. The lowest dose of fin that I've heard of is 3 mg/week. I gave that a try but found I needed to go higher.

So I have to assume the only reason you didn't experiment with cutting the dosage of Oral Min in half, is because you believe in only sticking the 'the least possible efficacious dose'? (2:51). I would have tried half -- because applying topical Min is a huge pain, and popping a pill is just so much easier. They do sell a spray that is both Min and Fin (Hims), I thought about trying (0.3 Fin concentration).

I want to ask you why you didn't think about taking a number of beard grafts for thickening up your top? It worked very well on my FUT scar but i used 1000 grafts so i don't have enough sources for my top. The hair from beard are a bit different but it matches with the existing hair

Hey, which brand of topical finasteride are you using?

Were you prescribed a diuretic with the oral minoxidil? Being prescribed a diuretic with oral minoxidil was standard practice but for some reason hair loss clinics that prescribe oral minoxidil for hair loss seem to forget this. The pressure you felt in your chest is likely fluid build up.

Can you use both oral Minoxidil AND the topical? Cause the topical has been good for me and afraid to stop completely for something new (oral minox)

are you going to do a detailed update on your topical finasteride use, and did you notice any side effects? Thanks man keep it up!

Sir i am being honest , I started oral minoxidil just after a 2 week after you posted the video mentioning that you have started oral minxidil , reason for starting oral minoxidil was because topical never helped me in regrowing even when I used it along with finasteride for more than 1+ years. So my regime after including oral minox was like Oral minxodil 2.5 mg everyday Oral finasteride everyday Minxodil 5% every other day Hair oil every other day Shampoo my hair on the oiling day . After 10 months I must say I have recovered almost 20℅ of my hair, my condition is better than ever , I can go out without caps , hair got thicker and fuller

Hi Matt, weren’t you trying sublingual version???? Are these sides due to that one?

Do you know if you are a SULTA1 (sulfotransferase) responder? That's how minoxidil works topically I've heard -- the sulfotransferase is required for proper conversion of the prodrug minoxidil to the active form in the hair shaft. Some people have inactive sulfotransferase enzymes in the hair shafts (likely due to genetic mutations in SULTA1) so typical topical minoxidil doesn't work for them. I'm not sure about the oral form - I've heard that oral minoxidil bypasses the sulfotransferase step somehow.

Interesting! I am experiencing something similar wirth 2.5 after 3 months but, did you vist cardiologist? I went and I did: EKG, stress test and echocardiogram because it felt like "pericarditis" but you know what? Nothing, all the tests are ok.

Then I immediately used minox for a while and woke up in the night. But then three days later I used the minox foam again and had severe heart pain for about three days. After a week, it went away easily. Since then I don't even give foam and try to use natural oils. and twice a week 1,25 mg of finasteride + a lot of other vitamins like silicon, zinc, biotin, sulphur, reishi mushrooms and quality sampons

As an example taking 0.5% on a Monday and Thursday, or 1 mg on wednesdays. Also using regular minoxidil on those days when using the oral medication. Supposedly the scalp DHT half life is 30 days, and combined with the topical finasteride the effects could be positive.

Hey man, how do you make your own topical fin?

Were you taking it sublingualy?

Oh hey Matt, I got a question I've been unable to find the answer. Using Fin right now at 1mg a day -- some people say that they reduced to 0.5mg a day to prevent the side effects. But logically, I don't understand this, because the amount of DHT that is inhibited from 0.5mg and 1mg is not much different (I think only 7%). So it doesn't make sense why, if the side effects come from DHT limiting, why reducing to a 0.5mg does would have any effect. I would assume that skipping a day would be more effective at reducing sides, but I also don't like that idea, because it bounces your hormone levels up and down (DHT fluctation) -- and hormone fluctuation is where all the problems come from.

Tissue binding half life of Finasteride is 4-5 days. Only blood levels would fluctuate in such a scenario. Furthermore the affinity of different body tissues and cells is not the same for different molecules.

I had the Same thought. I'm just using oral fin 1mg daily. I also was thinking about minoxidil, but this Video Shows its actually dangerous and topical minox is pretty inconvinient in my opinion. I also have a good nutrition and Use alpecin but i'm thinking about Adding a growth Stimulant.

@@andrewj4426 thanks. So you thinking skipping to EOD is more effective than reducing dose?

Honest review

Did you feel these sides even with sublingual minoxidil?

Did you ever have issues with topical Minoxidil? I took a full cap once a day for a year then started getting chest pain every day. I've been off it for 40+ days and still have issues. Got my heart and lungs checked but no problems were found.

I've had this too don't let ppl gaslight you. It took me about a year off of topical minoxidil to feel mostly back to normal. I still once in a while get some chest pain in that left ribcage where the heart is located, I notice it usually when I'm getting sick with a cold or run down. Did every test available from the doctor no issue, only started after minoxidil. At least the fast heartbeat is gone.

For 20 years, I have taken oral Minoxidil (15mg twice daily), to treat high blood pressure!. In 2014, due to receiving a kidney transplant, my doctors stopped my oral Minoxidil, and during a 3 month period I lost lots of hair. When I restarted Minoxidil, it didn't regrow the loss!.

Have you tried taking Finasteride with it, Fin has saved my hair from falling out and thus keeps the receding down alot and its really cheap thru GoodRx.

I had big results from topical Minoxidil many years ago... I'm a super responder (same is true for Finasteride). I lost a lot of ground when I gave it up. Recently, I've been trying to grow my mustache longer, and finding that I never seem to be able to reach the same length that I had some years ago... Eventually I realized that it was around that time that I was on min... I didn't realize it at the time, but min helped my beard growth too. So why did I give up min? Well, it was a pain in the ass... and having a wet hair look makes your hair look thin, which defeats the whole purpose of using the medication. So yeah, I'm very curious about oral min... but also cautious because I've had panic attacks and strange sensations in my heart in the past. Been checked multiple times but they never find anything serious. If I were to hazard a guess, I think I'm most likely to die of some undiagnosed heart condition down the road.

I've been doing microneedling(1.5mm dermaroller once a week) since beginning of May this year and only used topical oils such as jojoba/Moringa seed. So far I have yet to see a single shed of hair which is F'ed up. I'm not on any pharmaceutical drug as we speak.

you are usen the derma roller to frequently.. please do more reasearch. when you derma with a 1.5 to often because of the longer needle you risk damaging the scalp. you should wait 3-4 weeks to give your scalp a chance to heal before you derma again.. also trying using min and fin at a low dosage
