Quit Minoxidil

[tizzle]

i have a general question. i started minoxidil almost a month ago. I am shedding because of minox (initial minox shed) and i think my hair got thinner

minox makes me dizzy and i get headaches sometimes. i know this is the badest timing to quit but i have to.

do you guys think my lost hair is growing back? it should right? i mean its not like i regrew hair which is going to fall out when i stop minox.

Minox foam fkd my hairline within six weeks of starting to use it. Been on it a year now and it never grew back. Just my experience, others have been luckier.

goddamn. I will not spend money and go trough the shit of applying the stuff twice when its possible that it makes my hair worse. I put my faith in Finasterid, even tough i can only take 0.6mg due to sides. Im in law school and need to study a lot so i cant take this dizzyness.

I will keep you guys updated how i am doing

All hair that you regained from Finasteride or Rogaine, fall off 2-4 months after you stop using the products. The shed will never end, it'll continue until you're completely bald. Without it, your MPB will now continue on it's normal pace that it was in before you started Rogaine. Nobody told me this, I learned this the hard way.

I have dropped both in the past. With FIN I lost tons of hair in my normal loss areas and thought I was done for. After about a year about 50-60% came back with minox. I have been on Minox only since then.

This past fall I dropped minox for about 3 months and not only lost tons of hair but saw new areas of mpb as well. 2 mpb fingers appeared- 1 at the lower left side of crown and another and at upper left side. Not sure what it means but weird looking.

Can you elaborate? I'm considering starting Rogaine in June, after starting Fin in April. These kind of stories scare me. Are you on fin? If so how long? How much has minox fkd your hairline? How active was the miniaturization there compared to the rest of your head? Have you experienced growth anywhere on your head with minox? Thanks man.

Sure.. Not on Fin never have been. Prior to using the foam around one year ago my hairline was pretty decent, gradually fading away tho granted.

Enjoyed applying the foam as it helps style hair as well if you have enough left still.

Anyway I quickly noticed I was having less hairline to style after around six weeks and figured it was the Minox shed. Yep I shed, and still wait its return.

I haven't had any side effects-black eyes, headaches etc, that's a bonus.

Wish I could give a positive report on Minox, but given my time again I'd steer clear of it.

Best thing really is to bite the bullet and see for yourself, some guys have great results. I haven't, but I took the gamble!

Warlord, I think you need to go back and read AGAIN and you WILL see that I have used Minox 15%, yes, dr. Lee's -when he was in business- I was on it for 2 months or so but didn't feel it was any better than 5% and didn't see a justification for the higher price and that's why I dropped it, but at the same time it DIDN'T cause any shedding.

Read what I'm saying. It wasn't minox 15% that was causing the shedding. It was that specific garbage (Dualgen) that was. The ONLY explanation : SNAKE OIL. It contains ZERO% Minoxidil, let alone 15%. I have used 3 different products over the years (Rogaine, Kirkland, and for 2 months dr. Lee's 15%) and sometimes I switch between Rogaine and Kirkland and aside from the initial temporary shed, they all worked. I switch to these SOB's shit and my hair starts falling out like crazy and like NEVER before. I was shedding daily a minimum of 170 hairs even though I was using that shit. Like I said, I was on it for 3 months or so but my hair kept getting thinner and thinner.


"There are simply too many guys who experienced good results on it". I'm not sure what you're referring to by 'it'. If you mean Dualgen then I don't believe there are any, unless you want to believe the so-called "testimonials" by Dualgen. If you mean minox 15% by 'it' then it is possible that some people do experience better results.

I had HTs done but if you read my posts you'll see what area was done but I'll tell you again- the front quarter of the head. You'll also see that I was never bald to begin with. I had lots of hair in the hairline and temples -and behind that area my hair was 80% thick -but I just wanted to fill in the corners a little because I was too horrified of hair loss that I wasnt going to sit and watch it get worse before I did anything. Of course I continued to gradually lose more hair in the front and that's why I had more HTs. But even after 4 HTs I still had native hair left in the hairline and temples and I'm positive that's the hair I lost while I was on Dualgen. But I also lost probably 25% or more of my hair all over. The doctor says I was losing my transplanted hair or some of it but what about the rest of my head (the non-transplanted area) which was pretty thick before I got on that garbage (dualgen)?

"it is also possible that I didn't reveal everything" !! What the ****? What are you talking about ?? The only one here who doesn't make sense is you? Only 5 posts and you decide to write to defend Dualgen !!

VictimofDHT or Victimofhysterical, please use your brain,don't just keep whining. I am really tired of this. Why would a company use zero minoxidil? Why did I receive the best results while on Dualgen-15? Why were there thousands of positive feedbacks on dualgen-15 without a single negative one at Ebay?

Don't tell me that I have only six posts then I can't say the truth. I know there are shills on forums for over 10 years with thousands of posts.

Listen ****head, who stuck a stick up your ass ? But why should I even bother talking to you? It's obvious you ARE a shill. A salesman for a bunch of crooks who sell snake oil. Wow ! So you appear out of nowhere and you just happen to stumble across this post! Really! Wait you son of a bitch. Did you say "thousands of positive feedbacks" !! Thousands!! You got me sold, mother ****er. I'm gonna head to ebay now and buy me some more dualgen. Scum of the earth.
