minoxidil

General/Advice

i’ve been suffering with really bad hormonal hair thinning for a while now and i really want to start minoxidil. i’m not sure whether 5% oral or topical minoxidil is better. the thing is i really don’t wanna use it for the rest of my life that’s insane 😭😭😭 i was just curious if i lowered my androgens and reversed my insulin resistance, as well as consistently hair oiling & massaging and taking saw palmetto, can i stop using or taking minoxidil ? every result i’ve seen where people get there hair back from minoxidil is INSANEEE. so yeah genuinely has anyone stopped taking minoxidil and all was fine ?
