    But it should be noted I've experienced gyne sides on higher doses RU. Just my experience.
    What dose did you use when gyno sides emerged? I'm currently using 50mg in 1ml of KB Solution.

      I was using 50mg every day, mostly fine.

      Then the trouble started when I missed a couple days, as I was in a different city without my RU.

      Be wary of missing days, I guess is the best advice I could give. Be consistent, and constant with your applications.

        Wait, are you stating the gyno started as a result of missing days??

        Are you currently still using RU? If not, was this why?

          My gyno flared absolutely from the missed days, yes.

          I am still on RU, I use 10mg as its all my body can tolerate.

            How has the 10mg been treating you?

              Fine thanks. Not sure if its having an appreciable effect, but its the best I've got.

                Jlantern, how is your shedding going? Are you seeing any of those previously shed come back yet?

                  Anybody notice instant thickening after a just 1 weeks worth of application? My hair feels and looks thicker after only 1 week. Now clearly a week cannot produce anything of significance, but I take it as a very good sign of what's to come. My shedding for what it's worth has halted completely.

                  My only minor issue at the moment is red/dry eyes after application and minor puffiness of the nipples. I might lower my dosage from 50mg to 40mg after a few weeks if these minor sides do not dissipate.

                  Minus the minor sides (nothing remotely close to serious to drop), I'm liking RU so far.

                    StayThick, I thought you have been on RU for some time? One thing I have noticed in the past when a treatment has worked is "root lift". I got this when I started Fin way back when. Could be a signal that some of your hairs have gone into anagen phase. That would be great (could mean a shed to come though if they were in telogen phase). But you are right, it would not be possible to notice anything else that quickly.

                    Good luck. I start this week when my scale arrives, 25mg mixes with Lipogaine to start.

                      What do you mean by root lift?

                        When I started on Dr. Lee's ******* for the first time my hair responded very well and I had great regrowth for about a year. The first thing I noticed was that my hair seemed less "limp" that it did. I believe this was because the new growth was promoting more positive support for the follicle shaft.

                        I did go through a shed at that time as well so I think the kick-starting of the anagen phase pushed out some hairs in telogen but promoted the "root lift" in the hairs already in the anagen stage.

                        BTW, concerned about seeing more systemic absorption reports from the use of RU by Slick. The research show low incidence but reports here seem higher. I wonder if the PG is the contributor. I don't think it was used in the studies.

                          Today is my last 5% application. I will be lowering my dose to .25mg to see if I still experience minor sides.

                          5% is working, I can tell, but my eyes and nipple puffiness is very annoying. Not sure if red and dry eyes is a side effect, but I decided to try 25mg to gauge effects on my body.

                          This stuff definitely works and can cause minor sides in my opinion. RU is not side free, but in my opinion no where near extreme as Propecia.

                            Gyno is a bitch, I sometimes get it in 1 nipple.

                            I have been taking creatine in large amounts, im going to stop and see if things improve from that.

                              Well this blows, are u playing it safe and seeing if you could eliminate the sides all together or are the sides worsening?

                                So you and StayThick are both getting Gyno sides from RU? That seems very surprising based on the research folks have cited. Concerning. If you are getting systemic absorption, you need to be concerned about what you don't feel as well.
