Should I start Minox again??

[Aames]

Fair enough Aames, but I don't think being abrasive is necessarily the best course of action though.

Are you open to topical DHT inhibitors? Do not listen to Tracy, I am not trying to castrate you when I suggest topical spiro. It does not absorb systemically and I can direct you to a study where participants slathered their entire backs with it and experienced no sides. Unless you rub it on your genitals, you will likely not have issues. There was a poster on bodybuilding.com who had pretty good results with just nizoral, minox, and topical spiro (I can link you if you like).

I'll look into it, it seems to have just popped out of nowhere though?
Where do you get your Keratene from?

I'm kinda scared of the sheds, the dependency of it and possible sides.

Shedding is part of the process of treating hereditary hair loss. If you cannot deal with the shed, you should not attempt to treat your hair loss. Just allow nature to take it's course and live your life to the fullest anyways. It can be done. Millions of men have done so for thousands of years.

Only hair that grows back from using Minoxidil is actually dependent on the medicine - unless you get yourself castrated. You need to realize that you are fighting against an natural and normal process that does not stop. Since that process does not stop, you need to keep fighting against it. Castration is the only thing can stop that natural and normal process dead in it's tracks.

The possible side effects of Minoxidil are mild and well tolerated by most people who use it. Very few people actually experience the possible sides. However, if you are afraid of the possible side effects of Minoxidil or any other medication, you should not use that medication.

i buy it from their website since i am not in the US i dont have a problem,
i think if you are in the US its prohairclinic or something like that

[baldesswonder]

Not using anything? dude you gota change that, I too cant tolerate minox or fin

Heres a list of products to look into:

Keratene = topicals + pills (these are very strong and could easily give you sides) (Look at the thread in experimental section)
Saw palmetto / beta sitosterol capsules (Not an effective long term option but defn better than nothing)
Hair oils for general health (Divine herbal has a nice mix)
Niz for anti inflammation

why can't you tolerate minox?

Pay very close attention to all the "information" available on that product. Every word of it is from parties who have a vested interest in selling that product. Not a single claim they make has been appropriately validated. It makes darn good sense to be suspicious of it. It also makes darn good sense to be suspicious of posters who recommend this product so aggressively.

palpitations, dizziness, intense dark circles

Now you're accusing me of selling topical spiro? LMAO

Listen Breaking Bald, topical spiro may not even be that effective (no studies have ever been conducted on it for hair loss, AFAIK). But it has been proven, WITH SCIENCE, to be a successful DHT inhibitor. Which, in a case like your's where you flat out refuse to use anything internally, is better than doing nothing. Go look it up on HLH, some people report success with it. I'll also direct you to the guy on bodybuilding that only used topical spiro, nizoral, and minox.

Do what you want. At the end of the day, I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm trying to help you. Since you refuse to use fin, you have to start looking at things that aren't FDA-approved if you want to have a chance at saving some hair. Good luck with whatever you decide.

No I didn't. I wasn't even thinking of you when I wrote that.
