Regular Member AnyonymousGuy Posted October 12, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2009 *So I've been using 5% Minoxodil for 4 months now, and I just wanted to give you guys an update. I was a curious guy when I first started posting here, and minoxodil seemed like the best solution for me. - At one point, I had been to a hair appointment and was about to be prescibed Propecia - but I chickened out at the last minute because of the side-effects I had heard about. (Loss of sex drive mainly.) - Everyone suggested minoxodil, because the side effects are far less common. *SO FAR: No results guys. Bummer right? But I'm still going! I really wanted to post an update here because it's been months, and I'm just wondering if I should quit using it, or continue on. (?) I apply it with the droplet thing every day and night, and I rub it especially on the front of my hairline when I need it the most. I zoom in everyday in a mirror lol, but I'm not seeing any new hairs sprouting yet. What do you guys suggest? Also, I haven't gotten any side-effects yet either. (No unwanted hair growth,) - I figure I should mention that as well... Keep going, or is it just not going to work for me? Has anyone else traveled the same path, and gotten results AFTER 4 months??

Raphael84 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Keep at it man. I never proved to be a good responder to Minoxidil. But thousands have, and it comes highly recommended. Unfortunately, patience is often the key when hairloss and combatting it are concerned. I believe that you must give it a good run of 12 months before you can honestly and fairly judge your response to it!

Regular Member LeesHair Posted October 14, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi, Many people don't see a good response from Minoxdil until 6 months, so I'd certainly keep at it, by 4 months I had finished shedding and was just starting to thicken up again, but everyone's different!
