Body hair on oral minoxidil

Question

Hey y'all. I'm 22 Greek with moderate body hair. I started oral minoxidil (2.5mg) 2 months ago and I already have some minimal growth on the sides of my stomach and the insides of my arms. My goal is to become very hairy (ik it's weird but I always liked body hair). I know I'm still growing and my genetics allow it to become very hairy but I'm kinda impatient and this affects a lot my mental health. The question is is 2.5mg enough or should I switch to 5mg let's say in the 6 month timestamp. How much body hair you got with oral minoxidil. Anyone with similar background had major changes in body hair and if yes what does were you in? Oh and I'm not taking finasteride since it can affect body hair growth and I don't want that.
