Is 8mg of minoxidil overkill?

[Deleted member 28896]

I measured and one pump gives me about 1/6 ml (which is about 8mg).
Is this excessive or should I just go with it?

I don't have a pipette btw. Might have to do a Walter White and steal some chem equipment from school!

Starting dose is 1.25 (2.5mg tablet in half) but most people end up at around 5 from what I've seen.

I used to take 5 mg a day iirc. I think you should be fine at 8, at least for one time

Did you get good results from 5mg?

Nothing on the scalp, but the rest of my body hair got longer/thicker. Including eyeborws and eyelashes but not a huge amount

I suppose that everyone reacts differently, how was your base (thick eyebrows or not)?
Just sprayed sum shit in my mouth (prob 30mg), hoping to get mogger eyebrows!

I'd say they were decently thick and maybe only got slightly thicker but idk

Not much difference but my mom and sister commented on it so there you go
