This describes my situation to a T. I'm only 4 weeks in, but I'm not expecting ANy results from this combo. If I can maintain, I'd label it a success.10 weeks isn't long enough to notice any visible effects from any hairloss treatments man. I'm contemplating cutting my hair short, the sides of my head has longer and thicker hair than the top and its starting to look abit silly, plus it will make any results from this clear to see, though I'm hesitant as I'm unsure if it will ever grow back. Not expecting to see a hair improvement anytime in the next few months, but a decrease in shedding would give me confirmation that somethings working.
As it stands, my sides are growing at a ridiculous rate..and is revealing a darker shade of brown compared to my MPB attacked follicles on top. I'm starting to look silly. I just cut the sides to a 5 and top a 6 and I look respectful. Very depressing.Comment

I'm going to slap minoxidil on my crown once a day, think it might be beneficial. Cob you can't expect this to work after a few weeks, we have to give it time. We all want results, but hell ill make a judgement at six months minimum personallyComment

its too bad im allergic to minoxidil so its a no go for me, I will continue with 125mg of oral saw palmetto then, and also purchased a new hair oil, the divine herbal one,
The thing is i am not stabilizing, far from it, that is depressing, im not expecting miracles in 10 weeks but i atleast expect to see this nightmare on hold.Comment

Cob: I'm still using Minox 1x daily due to heavy bags side, plus Neogenic (which I believe will yield nothing) + trx2 and this MSM/VitC combo.
Only reason I jumped on this was because the Minox is starting to lose its effectiveness as far as maintaining. To date, I have never experienced regrowth from lost hair from any baldness treatment out there, including Propecia which I regrettably tried for a year.
I try every treatment for a year before I make any conclusions. I will do the same with this combo, although I'm not holding my breath.Comment

Any idea how long that took for you? I've been picking up my dose pretty slowly over the past month and a bit (8 days of 1.5g, 10 days of 2.25g, now on my 17th day of 3g, all with 1g of VitC). Oil production seems to be way down all over my hair considering I had the dreaded super dry straw effect (again, all over) but like everyone else conditioner fixed that up after the first wash. Itch isn't down in the slightest though, if anything it's worse. Much like you described it it's pretty much there all day, I can only try my best to take my mind off it. Not on anything else, never taken anything other than a couple of weeks of minoxidil a few months ago which didn't agree with me at all (awful chest pains, dropped it, picked it up again a few weeks later, similar thing happened again, dropped it again. 100% back to normal now though.) Never used Nizoral etc either.My itch reached a very intense level before subsiding. It was itchy all over, all day long. Now I would say it has almost been completely irradicated.
Maybe this program compounds the itch somewhat before beating it hence the increased sensation? I can understand a couple of you who are considering dropping out, it would be heartbreaking to waste all this time and hair on something that doesn't work but thats the risk we take with any regeim.
I could try raising the dose but I'm a bit reluctant to do so at the moment seen as I'm still not sure whether a couple of other issues I have are related to starting this (bunch of weird little red lumps on my fingers like I've been bitten by something but nowhere near as swollen - though one was at one point but has since calmed down, and a bit of eye discomfort which again which has largely subsided but is there every so often). Could well be completely unrelated and it's just that thing of starting something new and blaming everything you get on it even if it would have happened anyway) but I feel a bit nervous about raising the dose any further until I'm rid of them.Comment

just took a picture of my crown today and got a panic attack, its thinning like mad, in addition to my temples, this is one of the most depressing periods of my life,
I think im done guys, my battle is over, im screwed, i will contine msm+trx2 till the end of month 3 which is 3 weeks away, and then consider how to incorporate dht blockers which give me sides so i dont know how that would work,
in other words im fked, this treatment is clearly not doing shitComment

I'm sorry this hasn't done anything positive to you.
Gutted what do you say about these cases?
I'm sure it's doing good to me (unless I suffer from delusions), I would even say my crown is thicker.
PS, I'm also using cetirizine for the past 2 weeks.Comment

Some big claims by gutted lately. Vitc & MSM are enough to maintain for life. I hope so, this would be great.
I am still on this regeim and still shedding at the hairline and not too much anywhere else but this was the case before hand but the hair is thinning a lot. I plan to update you all at 5 months and at 6 months if I don't reach the steps to success Gutted laid out I will consider dropping this. I am almost through my third bottle of TRX2 right now.
Funnily enough the last week the itch returned but has gone again. The only change I made was taking 3g doses of MSM three times a day rather than altogether in one 9g batch.Comment

Regimen
I'm looking to start on this and was wondering what the best regimen seems to be. Thanks!Comment

It does sound a little too good to be true;
For decades scientists have tried to come up with a cure for hair loss, and now some random guy on the internet has done it?
Besides, wasn't the study on MSM and hair loss done with topical MSM and not oral?
And also, any pictures to back this up?
That's all.Comment

Cob it sounds like you swap out treatments more often than I change socks! but seriously, if I'm not mistaken your on and have been on DHT blockers (oral/topical sp, dht blocking shampoos) at times within the past 3 months, despite gutted advising you against it for this regime to work, he also stated you will have to wait longer than 3 months to see visible changes using this combo alone. A lot of us are in the same boat, if this fails for me, I too am ****ed as I get sides with DHT blockers, but I'm playing the patient game.just took a picture of my crown today and got a panic attack, its thinning like mad, in addition to my temples, this is one of the most depressing periods of my life,
