I stopped applying minoxidil for eight straight days and I've now switched to every other day. I really didn't feel any different during the eight days, nor do I feel different applying it every other day. Go figure. I wonder if I've permanently lowered my blood pressure? Anyway, here's hoping that...

I appreciate the response guys. I have to say that I'm very concerned about taking finasteride as my libido is already f****d as it is (pardon the pun), and I don't want to risk any sexual side effects. If I already know I'm prone to absorption, I'd like to also avoid spironolactone. I think Revivogen is...

I've been using minoxidil for more than seven months and to be honest, I've not regrown any new hair. If anything, I've lost hair. In addition, I've felt like crap for that period of time. Routine visits to the doctor confirm that my blood pressure is 10-15 points lower (and my blood pressure was...

I am looking for 5% minoxidil without propylene glycol. Dr. Lee sells this, and it's $19 for one month's supply. Is there anywhere cheaper? The ppg leaves a disgusting residue on my scalp. I may bite the bullet and get Dr. Lee's solution anyway - it has glycerin in it which might reduce the massive...

I started this thread HOW long ago, and am amazed that it's still going! I used Revita from 2/25/07 to 3/17/07. After that I stopped. Then in mid-July I started using Dr. Proctor's Proxiphen-N (NANO without minoxidil) and have not stopped that. However, my hair has gotten considerably thinner, and...

Taugenichts & chino20, thanks for the feedback. I did not use Revita today for the first time since I began. I am going to use it 2-3 times per week now for the anti-DHT properties. I just hope that the hair that I've lost will come back. One would think that Revita would not KILL good hair...

Well, maybe I'll make a call to Divine Skin who as I recall make this product. I am glad I'm not alone, but that still doesn't stop our hairloss, does it? Edit: Can our well informed moderator answer my questions about the hair phases with respect to hair treatments like Revita, please.

I started using Revita on 2/25/07, so it's been about three months. My hair has thinned quite a bit through slow shedding and I have to admit that it's troubling me. I did a bit of searching and the telogen phase of the hair cycle lasts 2-4 months. My question - What is the effect of a...

I did not apply the minoxidil this morning and FINALLY my heart is starting to slow down. It's a noticeable difference. Still doing the research on NANO. Does anyone use it and what kind of success have you had?

The chest pains are more of an ache. My heart races and my chest feels weird. And the worst part is that that is only with minoxidil on my scalp for 5-10 minutes per day. No, I am not nervous or anxious. It goes away a couple of days after I stop applying minoxidil. I might try .5ml instead but...

I am one of those who unfortunately gets chest pains when I use topical minoxidil (actually, Xandrox by Dr. Lee). I used to apply it and keep it on my scalp for the minimum two hours, but am now applying it for 10-15 minutes before I shower in the morning. My question is am I just wasting it...
