I'm afraid a beta blocker may be needed if it continues. If so I think I'll drop it...just to much for me. Starting to make me paranoid.

No topical just oral.

How about using 2.5mg + topical ? Are you seeing elevated heart beat with just 2.5mg ?
Although I believe 2.5mg alone without topical is not much, but together with topical with be a good boost. If you're not planning to use topical and 5mg causes side effects then I would just drop it altogether, using less than 5mg without topical is probably not worth it.

Yea I don't want hop back on topical but if that's the case i guess I have too. My hairs just been getting thinner and thinner on top. topical gives me mixed feelings. Unless you buzz your hair, I don't think you get good coverage. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and buzz.

I completely agree with you. I've been fighting with my own self back and forth whether to buzz or not. For the first time in many years I manage to get decent hair with a volumizing conditioner + the minoxidil foam acting as a mousse holding my hair nicely after it dries. But it's a pain in the *** to apply and I know that if I were to get a buzzcut I would gaurantee myself the best absorption, but then I'd have to mainten the buzzcut look... Decisions, decisions ...
By the way, I forgot to mention, if you do go the buzzcut route, you might as well go with higher concentration minoxidils, you got 10% and 15% liquid, 16% cream, and medical well center even has 30% cream.

Off topic, but one thing for sure, if and when brotzu's lotion released I'm gonna buzzcut to make sure it getd absorbed so damn well hahah.

Yea it's a tough one. I buzzed it once when I used to apply it to my hairline and it worked very well. Much better than it did with my longer hair. I just don't like the buzzed look so much. Maybe your right. Do you apply it when your hairs still damp? Maybe I'll just mix it in straight out of the shower. Does minoxidil have to come in contact with the scalp to work or will the hair follicle its self do the job? Any idea?

Yeah I apply it on damp hair, usually shower, then on damp hair apply the foam, then brush it, it doesn't look that good after the foam dries, but it receives the initial hair shape and helps it hold still. After about 10 mins when the foam dries I just lightly brush my hair again and it unstiffens the foam texture and gives it a more natural look, plus i get better hold ans volume. The second brush after the foam dries is a muat though, otherwise the hairs look clampy. For me the foam acts as a mousse. Honestly if I just try to brush my hair with water it won't look as good compared to the foam.

Minoxidil has to come in contact with the scalp, this is the most important part, which is why people will long hair usually don't like the foam that much as they feel it just gets rubbed on the hair and doesn't penetrate the scalp.
