Has anyone gone from 2.5mg to 5mg oral minoxidil?

[Kiernan Sheridan]

I need thicker eyebrows, and I’ve seen a bit of growth on 2.5 mg, but I need more.

if I don’t see more growth, I’m wondering what the difference looks like between 2.5mg and 5mg, and also your experience as a whole?

Just for clarity do you mean 2.5/5 mg of oral minoxidil?

Yes, my bad I should have specified

I tried it by just drinking liquid minoxidil for like 2 months, but never got into it that much. My protocol has been liquid 5% minoxidil twice a day + 0.05% tretinoin daily with weekly 0.5mm dermarolling, and I'm close to doing it for 6 months now.

The growth has been pretty good, I used to use a pen to fill in my eyebrows but it seems like I have slowly just decided that I didn't need it anymore. It was never a conscious thought, I just gradually phased out the makeup automatically cause the brows look significantly better. The hair growth is a lot denser all throughout my brows and more even, and the brows are thicker as well. It seems like the strands might be a bit darker too.

I think it's definitely a good idea to do oral as well, but I'm holding out for VDPHL01 cause I'm really uptight about cardiac side effects, and it seems like VDPHL01 works significantly better anyways.

diminishing returns and more bloat js trust the process on 2.5
