After 10 months on topical I’m making the decision to quit. @chadisbeingmade convinced me that bloating will happen and I think he’s right. Anyone have any advice? Rlly don’t want to lose the gains of possible. I will update on the bloat in a couple weeks

What’s your plan to grow your lashes and brows without it
 
unrelated but do you have a chance of losing more than your base when you stop?

or will your gains only be affected?

Some do, some don’t from topical.

Just oral is guaranteed to make you a bloat fish.

How long have you used minox?

My lashes and brows are so long already, if they thin out I’ll get back on min and just use furo when needed

Bloating will happen?

Like you may not have noticed it

Or you think it's gonna happen later even though you've been on for 10 months jfl

Yea update us I notice no bloat and I use it every day, i think this is cope

I didn't like it either. Got super bloated and got put off from the idea of being dependent on it

Yes bro raped undereyes
My undereyes have always been raped so I didn’t really notice this, but I had Nasolabial folds appear out of nowhere and I think it’s the fluid retention

I've been on it for 6 months. It did thicken my crown up and eyebrows but none of that matters if you have serial killer under eyes. I have black circles under my eyes. I stopped oral min today.
 
bloat from topical? really?

this happens only when you apply minox on a certain part of the face?

Yeah it’s dog shit

When @chadisbeingmade made a thread about minoxidil being evil like 6 months ago I felt like a sexual assault victim that found out they weren’t alone

I might be wrong and that’s why I’m very hesitant. It has to be systemic at this point, I’m growing hair everywhere

its really weird because i never heard someone saying this on social media and here, you are the first one
 
How long did you use it
4 weeks. I was using MK and HGH at the time too. I dropped minoxidil whilst still using both and I would honestly say atleast half my bloating went away. It was pretty brutal for me. Discontinued MK 2 weeks after
 
Yup that’s when I also noticed the minoxidil rape unless you have truecel eyebrows I’d just cope with something else
My brows are fine it’s the lashes I’m scared of losing. And my temples:feelswah:

I also miraculously developed terrible dark eye circles. Didn't even know this was a potential side tbh. Looksmin in a tablet

That’s the thing man I’ve only ever used topical, don’t know why this is happening

It will go back to baseline (what it was before starting minoxidil). You won't initiate any balding or anything like that. GPT etc just say that because they assume you were balding before the use of minoxidil etc

I WAS BALDING BRUH. my hair never got that bad but I got to norwood 1.5 in the hairline. Never had much thinning though

I'll stop oral min for a month, if the dark eye circles don't get better, I'll go back on oral min and get fat grafts for my under eyes. That's my plan. The only reason we have had these side effects is because we have shit lower eye support.

nah they went back to normal you should be good
 
I’m gonna try that before just cutting it out
Personally I'll stay using it for sometime then do this, it makes sense to me that it works, you don't take enough minox to bloat or have your hair grow fast, just enough to maintain results

Reactions: slaters
Do you have personal experience with ahk ?
no but it seems very promising as an oral minoxidil alternative. may make a thread on it. doing research on it right now. probs will use it in 3 weeks time

I hope it does. I can't remember being self conscious about eye circles or eye bags before taking min

It’s because of the propylene glycol

I’ve decided I’m gonna limit myself to 2ml of 5% on the hairline only, I’ll see if there’s any change
