    Default Rogaine & switching doses

    Hey everyone. I started minoxidil 5% 2 x daily Dec 1st on 2012 and taking 1.25 mg fin daily. By June my hair was crazy thick. Almost like I was a teenager again. I was 32.

    I went down to using minoxidil 1 x daily, and continued w/ finasteride. Everything was fine until the last 3 months. I noticed the crown thinned out a bit. Not as bad as when I started, but still not like it was last summer.

    I went back up to using minoxidil 2 x daily.

    Any ever messed around w/ their dosage like this? If so, what were your results?

    Thanks all.

    studies on minox shows that most gains are seen by 4-6 months

    fin, a year

    could be that you cut your minos dose or that sometimes the drugs just stop working

    if you notice the latter, you might have to switch to dut
