  1. Hello, Recently I was prescribed by Dr.Nadimi to 1.5mg oral minoxidil since it has shown to be an effective option for hair regrowth. I wanted to ask if there are any past users that can share their experiences with me. Does 1.5mg daily have extreme risks? When I ask this my main concern isn't about taking it for a short period of time but people who have a plan or have taken it for years of their lives. Is there any research on this and the effects it can have on your body if you say take it for 5 years to 10 years at a low dosage of 1.5mg? Also, I wanted to ask how effective topical minoxidil is especially in the crown area and how long it takes to see results? How many times a day should I take topical minoxidil and have you guys had any positive results taking it when coupled with finasteride. I am new to this so sorry for the rookie questions, but this would really help me a lot if I can get an answer. Thanks!
  2. Thank you very much for your response. I actually have spoken to a doctor about prescribing medication and they were willing to write me up an oral prescription. But they charge an annual refill fee for $25 (can you explain what this fee means) and a prescription fee of $100. Is this cost reasonable or can I go elsewhere perhaps even an online consultation that only costs 30$ or less to get a prescription. If I already have a topical Minoxidil prescription and I want to switch over to Oral, will I need to get another prescription specifically for Oral use?
  3. Hello, I wanted to get a prescription for Minoxodil since I have yet to start taking it and seeing what results I would get. I have started taking finasteride and spoke with a dermatologist about it as well. I was given a prescription from Roman and therefore started taking the medication. So far, I have no side effects. But, I wanted to couple this with Minoxidil specifically in a tablet form as putting it topically can be extremely tedious. My question is that if I am prescribed for Minoxidil will I need a separate prescription to take it orally or once I have the prescription for Minoxidil itself, that could be enough to get Oral Minoxidil from stores? Also, dermatologist prescription costs are very high and I am uninsured. Is there a way to get prescribed online that is cheap and affordable? Thank you
  4. I have not taken minoxidil because I fear that it will ruin the natural hairs I already have. Other than my crown, every other area is relatively fine. Also i have been taking finasteride 3 times a week, what is the success rate with stopping hair loss and sometimes regrowth of hair with finasteride and how long does it take to see the effects? Also will I see more shedding in the early stages of taking finasteride?
  5. Perhaps there are more falling out, but what I am sure of is that the top of my crown is shedding and thinning. For that reason I wanted some insight on what is the first step I should take. I have heard dermatologists sometimes can inject a steroid, also they can provide an opinion on what the problem is.
  6. I really can’t put a number on it. But whenever I come out of the shower I see 20-40 in the tub. But these are guesses nonetheless.
  7. Hey I have stressed out lately because it seems that I am losing hair everyday. I am a 24yo male and I have recently just started taking finasteride 1mg 3 days a week to lessen the side effects if I were to have any. Also, I have been taking saw palmetto, biotin, and other vitamins. I would like to first go to dermatologist before any other further actions to get a diognosis on whether I am deficient in anything and get a blood test. Are there any good and affordable dermatologists in Illinois that any of you can recommend. Also, do most of them take insurance, and what is the cost without insurance (I know it might just depend). Thank you
