Plateaued for three years on 5 mg immediate-release plus finasteride. Then added MINX and Precision Dut.
5 mg IR + fin → MINX 5 + PDut Maxdiscord #minx · Jul 2026
i will add that i believe there has been some slight improvement since adding minx 5mg and pdut 0.3%. looking back at the pictures i've taken there's some improvement and i've personally not been feeling as bad about my hair which is always a good sign

Two years on immediate-release oral minoxidil with weekly palpitations. Then switched.
2.5 mg IR → MINX 5 + PDutdiscord #minx · Aug 2026
Went from constantly anxious about my hair to happy every time I look in the mirror.
1.25mg Aug 2024 to ~Q4 2025. 2.5mg Q4 2025 through May 2026. Presumably slowed loss but did not stop it or reverse it.
I had heart palpitations on 2.5mg every once in a while (maybe once a week) but none on MINX
Had some shedding the first 4-6 weeks on MINX, seems a lot less now (starting the dut a few weeks ago is possibly a confounder though)
Dense enough to do my flip in front whereas it was difficult to hairdo before.
Guys I really can't believe the difference in just 2 months for me (2.5mg vanilla -> 5g MINX). I ran out of friends to text so I had to come here again 😅

Really sensitive to minoxidil in every prior form. MINX LITE was the one that worked.
MINX LITE 2.5 mgdiscord #minx · Jul 2026
If it helps I'm actually really sensitive to minoxidil, both oral IR and topical, I just can't tolerate it. But with Minx I've had zero side effects. I use 2.5 mg
those are the side effects I had with topical and oral min, not with minx
Couldn't tolerate immediate-release oral minoxidil at any dose. Started MINX at the smallest dose instead. His final message below was posted after this archive's snapshot and is transcribed from the live channel.
MINX LITE 2.5 mgdiscord #minx · Aug 2026
1 month on 1.25mg MINX & 14 days on 2.5… Is there any explanation for why the temple triangles benefit so much from minoxidil with no shed? Large amounts of new growth in this area… Anyways, hoping it continues
Yeah, I knew immediately IR min wasn't going well. Figured I'd start really low with MINX to be safe.
Not sure it's helpful, but will share anyway… Completed first month of MINX mini (1.25mg) with zero side effects so far. IR caused tachycardia at any dose - even 0.67mg lmao. Moving up to 2.5mg MINX next and will report back.
Resting HR unchanged and no chest pains yet

I've been taking very small doses of this formula and just increased to full dose and still haven't got side effects. To contrast, I've gotten extreme side effects with even the smallest sublingual oral-menoxal dose, inclusive of heart palpitations, anxiety, and sleepless nights
Twenty years of aggressive loss, starting at the crown. Ordered a year of MINX on day one and documents everything, honestly.

Crown is filling in
In my case..my hairloss was very agressive from the beginning..crown was thinning first..before long i had start using fibers to keep my hair looking normal...this was close to 20 years ago btw
It seems in currently going thru a shed, i notice hair on my hands when i shampoo or run my fingers thru my hair..fingers crossed my hair comes back thicker in a month or two
I'm not gonna lie..sometimes i slack..i try to take it with more than a few snacks lol...usually with an evening meal...today i just had it with 2 tim tam cookies...lol
I'm able to slick back my hair and it looks good!
I wasn't able to do that before
I also had a fade on my nape a few weeks ago on 7/27 to be exact and yet now my hair is growing back faster...the fade has grown to curly long hair
Hopefully the front will follow suit..that's where i really need it to look not balding

Heart rate unchanged. 48–55 bpm, normal for them.
58 years old. A NW7 two years ago, NW4 today, on a multi-treatment stack that now includes ER minoxidil. His regrowth is not attributable to MINX alone.
discord #minx · Aug 2026
Back from the dead for sure. The results are really impressive
I'm 58 YO and currently I'm a NW4. I progressed from being a NW7 over 2 years ago but have been stuck there for more than 9 months
I just came back from my semi-annual follow-up with my Dermatologist and she was amazed how much progress I had from the last visit. From my POV as I see myself and took pictures frequently, I thought I was stuck at the same state

An honest mixed report: no palpitations at all, but headaches worth pausing for.
sublingual IR → MINX 2.5, then 5 mgdiscord #minx · Jun 2026
I've upped my dose to 5 mg every day and still no side effects. I'm pretty shocked by this. This formula is legit.
even the SMALLEST sublingual dose of oral min would give me SEVERE palpiatitons
Minx does none of that 1 week in so far 2.5mg with food
yeah no heart palpiattions AT ALL still but i do get some headaches that have gotten worse so decided to stop for a few weeks and restart
Years of water retention and eye bags on immediate-release minoxidil.
2.5 mg IR → MINX 5 mgdiscord #minx · Jul 2026
I can second that. I've been using minx switched from 2.5mg ir to 5mg minx recently and completely lost any/all water retention and darker eye bags I had from min, and the change is very obvious. Was never that bad but definitely apparent and I had it for years.
Two years of topical did nothing. Oral minoxidil took him from NW3 to NW2, but wrecked his under-eyes. Switching the release fixed them. He also runs topical, microneedling and more, and says so.
5 mg IR → 2.5 mg MINX + topicaldiscord #minx · Jul 2026
Told you bossman, IR min is an undereye destroyer
I used topical min for 2 years and barely got any response. Oral min was a gamechanger for me
I had no idea oral min was contributing to that and I kept blaming it on sleep and stress
Then my prescription ran out for a week and my eye bags disappeared and I was like wtf
I cut my dose from 5 mg IR min to 2.5 mg ER
That's how my under eyes got back to normal
Also I'm getting more hair gains on this combo than I got on 5 mg oral min daily. So it's a win win for me

so far the minx has produced zero observational side effects or cardiovascular troubles. my first month on it, there was slight puffiness under the eyes upon waking but that was easily dealt with by applying a cold compress or ice. my body seems to have acclimated to the minoxidil.
in the last week or two, a massive shed has been quite apparent… kind of disconcerting at first but was told it is natural and a positive sign.
