got sides from 1ml minoxidil should i try this?

[Guest]

i was thinking because i got sides from 1ml minoxidil once a day i could try this before i quit.cutting my hair really short and only using 0.5 a day?

Another thing id like to know is how to avoid minoxidil going systemic.Does minoxidil have something in it that makes it penetrate past the follicle into the blood? i dry my hair before aplication but i still get systemic sides.should i just give up on minoxidil?

Not sure. The reason why I asked is because I just started and I have been getting some pretty major headaches, (I rarely get headaches), and I feel light headed and lathargic, I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing these same sides.

I had headaches when i first started and they went away.

i had the same the first 6 months, what i did was use less for a while and give up the night application few nights a week and go up a bit over the period of two month, at the end it went away and ive been using about 1.5 mg two times a day for the last year with no sides

Really? do you watch your salt in youe diet?Has this happened to anyone else?

i take it you're using the liquid minoxidil?

some ppl here experience no sides on the foam.

some experience increased shedding when switching over to foam.

 

[Guest]

you would think foam or liquid would be the same thing wouldnt you?One thng is i do bite my nails so some minoxidil could get into my bloodstream from that but i think its pretty unlikely.Dr Rassman says to use gloves when applying rogaine.I dont know but.Im going to try half the dose of 5% and see if i still get some facial swelling.If so its back on propecia 0.25

 

[Guest]

I think the reason for my water retention is due to high salt in my diet and rogaine.
