| What is the minoxidil dose that you are taking? Are you taking a whole pill or spliting them? |

Circling back to say at the 2-month mark, shedding has stopped. Hard to assess the thickness/growth as my hair is just a frizzy ponytail mess right now with the weather. |

| Also, my eyebrows have filled in, and, in an unexpected turn, my nose hairs are growing like weeds. 😩 |

Been on it for about 6 months and hair seems to be slowly growing in.
For recent special occasions, I had my makeup done twice. Both times the MUA commented on my long eyelashes. I usually don’t use mascara and hadn’t noticed. |

| ya, it has very bad affect on sex drive so it's give and take. MY DH stopped using it because he had no desire for sex for like 6-8 weeks. |

Get back to us when you've been on it at least 2-3 years.
Commentary means -nothing- unless the person's on the drug a number of years, to know the lasting effects and lasting side effects. |

THat’s finasteride. Oral minoxidil does not have this side effect. |

me again. I'm now at almost 3 months of using minoxidil/dutasteride pill. My hair has grown 1.5" in length and I have lots of new hair at the scalp and around my temple. I initially thought it was fly-away hairs that I was trying to tame, but I can now see it is short hairs, about 1.5" long along my face and part, that are growing in. |

| I’ve been on it for 8 months or so. Yes, all my hair grows in thick and fast, wanted and unwanted: eyebrows, eyelashes, nose, etc. But the hair on my head has never looked so good and my eyelashes have never been this long. No plans to stop ever! |
