Hi

I just started Oral Minoxidil .625 and started shedding more than normal in week 3..I am now in week 6 and shedding a lot. My question is will it stay at this amount for a long time or am in the peak of the shed. When I had TE it was like a mountain that peaked and then was slowly less and less. I really hope this medication makes me stop shedding! Any advice? Would love to know when all your dread sheds started? How long they lasted? and did it finally decrease shedding? I just need a mental break!

I started oral minoxidil .625 five days ago and have had the worst migraines I have had in years. Did anyone else get them and do they eventually stop? I really need this medication after a year of TE that I think uncovered AGA. My husband has more hair from it than he has had in over a decade with no side effects. I wanted this to work so badly but it took me out. Not sure if i should try going down to .25mg. Thank you in advance.

Hi I had a crazy bout of TE and lost 70% of my hair from mid June-December. I got extensions for density and continue to do so. I also do prf and red light helmet but my results are not great my hair is still very thin and although there is a lot of new growth it seems thinner than before TE. I know TE takes a lot of time to recover from but I think I am going to start OM at .65mg since I am 45 and already have autoimmune which probably is not doing me any favors. I am so scared. Anyone have any advise.
