As the title says, I'm looking to switch from topical to oral. I've been on topical 5% minoxidil for almost a year now. Have had decent regrowth, under even harsh light I no longer look bald/balding. Started 1mg Finasteride about 7 months ago as well, haven't had any major side effects. Coming to the point, I've been wanting to switch to oral Minoxidil, both because it's easier and because I heard it has a better regrowth rate. I'm mainly hesitant due to the chances of a second shed and how severe it may be. I've seen horror stories here, but I'm also aware how people tend to go a bit overboard here. I'd like to know actual experiences on the switch. Any and all advice/help is appreciated.
