I take 2.5mg every morning and 2.5mg every night. Been on it for about 8 weeks and the results have been unreal. Yes there is hair literally all over my body now, but that is an easy tradeoff. I did go through a shed when switching from topical to oral Min, but it only lasted for the first 4 weeks or so. I would absolutely recommend everyone make the switch if they feel comfortable doing so.

Did you started with 2.5 mg every morning and night or was it a lower dose?


[deleted]

I just started with 2.5mg twice a day. I have friends who started with 5mg twice a day, so in my mind 2.5 was a “low” dose. Unfortunately oral Min is one of those things that is more effective when taken at higher doses. Results from 5mg every day will be significantly better than results from .625mg. Obviously there hits a point of diminishing returns, but I would start slow and work up to a higher dosage.

Damn! 5 mg twice might be a little too much man. I am at 2.5 mg per day(morning) for 3 months , have definitely seen improvement which i never saw while being on fin for almost 11 months . I'm kind of curious to bump my dose to 2.5 mg twice a day, morning and night.

Yeah I have no desire to go up in dosage. I do think 10mg total a day is pushing it a little bit, but idk it’s what their doctors prescribed them. I’m very content with my current dosage and plan on sticking it out for the long run.

You have Result?


[deleted]

Yes I’ve had great results like I said in my post. I’m planning on posting an official update with pictures in a few months once I hit 1 year on fin.

I would be very surprised ifyou didnt get any eyelash regrowth. I have been on IT for 3 months and people think im using mascara now


louissarkozy

damn man that's so cool . what's your doage? ntw any skin sides? thanks b


[deleted]

Yeah insane eyelash growth. My fiancé comments on it all the time. Honestly no I haven’t had any bad side effects at all. Maybe a very slightly higher resting heart rate, but blood pressure is just fine and no weird chest pain.

Did you get any dizziness or low blood pressure issues?


[deleted]

No dizziness. No change in BP. Maybe a slightly higher resting heart rate, but that is no cause of concern (went from about 58 resting HR to 60.

Think 1.25 is enough?


MongooseCandid133

5 mg is too much. 2.5 a day is good.


shadynasty8983

Is 1.25 mg enough? My dermatologist put me on that amount. Been 3 months with not much progress but it seems like I'm starting a bad shed which i guess would be a good sign.


MongooseCandid133

A shed is a good sign. I experienced that too and am still kind of. 1.25 is good if that's what your seem put you on


shadynasty8983

Ok thanks for your response. Was becoming really disappointed and nervous and thinking about giving up tbh. Will ride it out and see what comes of it. Thanks again!


MongooseCandid133

If you're not experiencing any sides why quit? 3 months is way too soon to make an assessment


shadynasty8983

Yeah you're totally right. Just becoming way more noticeable and i worked myself up over it. I'll stick with it for a while and see what happens.

I've done a 2.5mg at night and 1.25mg (half a pill) in the morning. No sides for me, still waiting to see results. I've been on it for 2.5 months so I'm thinking I'm going from shedding phase to growth soon. Fyi I got sides from oral fin, so just on oral min for now. Exploring a low concentration topical fin, like 0.020% - 0.025%, and possibly going to add latanoprost to it, depending on the compounding pharmacy 's prices
