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.
OP is pausing hair loss treatments to focus on mental health due to anxiety and side effects from RU58841. They plan to try topical finasteride and minoxidil after recovering from pneumonia.
A user shared progress pictures showing significant hair growth after 7 months of using 1mg finasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil. The user also noted improved beard growth.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of using less than 20mg of RU58841, specifically 12.5mg, for hair loss treatment. People are discussing their experiences with different dosages of RU58841.
The user is using topical finasteride and is considering adding minoxidil despite concerns about dependency and side effects. Another user suggests that finasteride alone can reverse hair loss, but adding minoxidil and microneedling may improve results.
