Differential Effects of Propranolol on Heart Rate and Plasma Renin Activity in Patients Treated with Minoxidil

A user shared that while finasteride improved their hair, it didn't solve all their insecurities, suggesting that self-acceptance is key. Others in the conversation expressed varying opinions, with some feeling that finasteride significantly boosted their confidence and quality of life, while others acknowledged it as a solution to hair loss but not a cure-all for other personal issues.

Oral minoxidil can boost hair growth but may cause side effects like heart palpitations and increased body hair. Many prefer topical minoxidil due to fewer side effects.

The user experienced positive hair regrowth using 1mg oral finasteride daily, Nizoral 2% shampoo every three days, and dermastamping, without adding minoxidil due to satisfaction with current results. Initial side effects like erectile dysfunction and dry eyes resolved over time.

A user is experiencing hair loss despite using finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, tea tree oil, and nizoral. They are considering switching to dutasteride due to an upcoming move to Japan.

A user shared their 3-month progress using a combined finasteride and minoxidil pill for hair loss, noting early signs of regrowth. They also use biotin shampoo/conditioner, take Vyvanse and Propranolol, and bleach/dye their hair every 3 weeks.
