Minoxidil Please Help

[ya405]

Hey guys I really need ur advise please. I have been using 5 % mino. for 4 months in the crown area. I used it more or less 2 a day. Recently I have noticed that My face gained weight and I started to have Dark circles around my eyes. Now I have wrinkles under my eyes I really don't know why its happening. I was thinking may be i dont sleep enough but I sleep around 8 hours a day.


Please let me know what should i do i really dont want to quit using it but the side affects are just killing me.


Please again suggest me to do something about it.

those are side effects. Decrease minoxidil to around .50ml, maybe even once a day and see how it goes. I had some bad side effects too but they went away.

I experienced extreme dizziness. I couldn't even drive, It was very difficult for me to walk in a straight line. I also had a headache. I'm using minoxidil only at night so when I was waking up in the morning I had headache and dizziness but then later on during the day it was slowly fading (around 8pm).
I decided to stop for a day and decrease minoxidil to around .5ml a day (I mean night). I was still experiencing dizziness but not as extreme as I had before then it slowly faded and I was able to increase intake of minoxidil to 1ml.
I believe sometimes your body have to adjust to that drug.

Decrease minoxidil to .5ml and apply it to the area where you are thinning. You really dont need that much to apply just a thin layer. .5ml should be enough. Apply it at night and see how it goes.
Make us posted how it goes.
cheers
