I don't think anybody would say tapering onto a drug is a bad idea; some might say it's not necessary for certain drugs, but never a bad thing. I know I'm going to taper mine. I still have a decent set of hair, and currently have a lot of budding hairs where it's thinnest - it doesn't make sense for me to dive into fin full-force.

As for nizoral, I believe it serves to wash DHT from the scalp. I am actually on 2% keto from my GP, but I went down to once a week because it was giving me dandruff and itchy scalp. Not to mention it makes my hair very thin and lifeless. Google it to understand it's impact better.

I have ordered some, hopefully it will work, also, on the plus side, it's seems the Minox is working as my hair seems to be getting darker.

I think he means just get professional advice from a hair specialist. I personally did not.

I am noticing a difference with 0.5mg but the semen is watery, however, I have been told if I stick to the drug, my body should get used to it and go back to normal.

How long (on average) will I begin to see results with Minox?

Yes, stick threw it mate.

Depending on how your body takes it, 6-8 months.

You can if you like, some people have the same results as taking 1mg a day.
