Are there any sides to starting minoxidil young and using it for the rest of your life?

[Bigmoneyballer]

Should I start oral minoxidil at 16 and would it affect me negatively if taken for years while I have no hair loss? I’m trying to grow lashes and eyebrows

 

[.zonic]

I use castor oil and rub vaseline to create a better definition in brows, hit the gym for more hair to grow My leg hair had to be shaven 4-5 times a week just because of hair growth (i shave it for muscle definition)

I tried castor oil but it didn’t grow much for me, and I do go to the gym 3x a week at least but tbh I think I js have really shitty genetics for facial hair and probably low testosterone too

meh, girls like lashes, like how some men like feet or butts. Its not exclusive to one gender

No doesnt seem to be. I haven't experienced any and got no water retention even when using 2.5mg a day of it with testosterone and stimulants. Just be on the look out for sides in the first couple of months, specifically swollen ankles, chest pain and shortness of breath.

I definitely feel better when I do go, I notice less bloat and my zygos always look more prominent after, but my main insecurity is my eye area tbh so I want to take oral minoxidil to get thicker eyebrows and longer lashes

Okay thank you, I used to take topical minoxidil orally for a month or two because some people said to but I stopped because I would get random chest pains, do you think that means it would happen again if I took oral minoxidil or do you think it was solely because I was taking topical minoxidil orally?

Feet? Only weirdos like those.

Tbh I took topical years before and felt like I got heart flutters. Its hard to tell with ur heart if caused by overthinking/anxiety or its real pls then u throw things like caffeine in the mix. I've also read a bunch of anecdotes of ppl who got initial weird palpitations but adjusted after 2-3 months.

Id just start on a real low dose (1.25mg) which is wht I did and I tapered up to 2.5mg after a month. I wouldn't worry about things like minor palpitations tht ppl get day to day anyway. Some of topical minox does go systemic but how bad where the chest pains?

The chest pain would just last for like 5 seconds, but it would hurt a lot when it would happen and it had me worried so I stopped drinking the topical. But I had only been drinking topical minoxidil for about 2 months, and I had went from 1 drop to 2 drops in the morning and 2 at night so maybe that’s why as well. Do you recommend I hop on topical minoxidil orally again for the time being or try to get oral minoxidil tablets?

I’m in the Us, where do you get your Tablets from?

https://www.oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk/hair-loss/minoxidil-generic. They only deliver in the UK though.

Just did a google search and seems to be a bunch of online us providers like Keeps etc. Reading Keeps recommend wht I just did. They prescribe 2.5mg tabs and say break in half and take the 1.25mg at first. https://www.keeps.com/drug-facts/or...4lyOlyhihMtLfrdICWVG7-G25Xnw0kIv4F7FeMrH6BVFX

Id get it through there I've heard numerous ppl say they get hair loss meds from them so should be alright and looks like u just have to fill in a consultation like I do. Just obv lie as much as possible make it seem your hair loss is bad. Don't heart palpitations etc if asked about hr heart during the consultation. Also in the consultation I have to do they ask about the pattern of loss so make sure u say its in mpb pattern as opposed to u just experienced rapid shedding all over ur scalp. Say ur thinning slightly all over but predominantly at the hairline and crown.

Yeah im not sure which to do either tbh, but gym js kinda makes me feel better mentally as well so that’s at least another benefit

If I were you I’d just get a pull up bar and an adjustable bench and a couple weights and just do that sometimes

I did pushups etc from 14-16. Started gym at 16 just don't ego lift and do high reps + eat. My heights the same as my twin bro who didnt go so defo didn't stunt anything. People think its way easier thn it is to stunt ur growth.

Oral or topical? In my experience with topical minoxidl only side effects you get from applying is some dryness and skin flakes from the alcohol in minox. Even in oral minoxidl there shouldn't be any side effects. For lashes I js apply a miniscule amount of rosemary oil and that's enough to get me the curled long lashes I need.

I’ve been applying topical minoxidil for about 3 months now and although I see growth on my eyebrows it’s not as much or as quick as I’d like, feels minimal. I want to try oral minoxidil(tablets) because I heard they work better and also I want to grow my lashes as well but people say applying topical on lashes is risky

Makes sense. My little brother is growing insanely (almost my height), and he hates the gym, while my 18 year old brother was stuck at 5'11 doing squats and bench shit at 14 lmao

Yeah i wouldn’t apply topical onto ur eyelashes invest in some castor or rosemary oil for better results.

There's some studies that it can be anti androgenic

Topical minoxidil will not get any side effects

Hey bro, I was trying to do my online consultation right now and it’s asking me to send photos to finish the prescription and such, what should I do?

I never had to do that for the place I order from. Either find some photos of bad mpb on google or order from a diff site. When I googled it the other day a bunch of other us based sites came up apart from Keeps.

Yeah but it’s weird, keeps already took the fucking payment for some reason but it says they won’t deliver my package until I submit photos I can find some photos of balding on Reddit but im just not sure what to look for? Do you think it matters?
