Minoxidil Side Effects - Do You Get Any Besides Skin Related Issues? Please Share Your Experience !

[Massive]

Sup bros. My last 2 months been a nightmare,( but I'll get into that in another post ...) and I am trying to disect piece by piece the root of it.

*Please* Put aside any skin/wrinkles/puffy cheeks etc... side effects

I would to hear if anyone experiences other things, like forehead / eyes tension/pressure which make you not be able to concentrate or focus or anything , headaches , migranes , nausea(?) , increased/decreased blood pressure, increased/decreased heart rate, fatigue

When I used kirklands liquid minoxidil (2ml each app) I would get facial flushing and this nogging pain/pressure in my forehead and would really interrupt me when im studying or programming. After a month I switched to the foam and I can't really tell how it's affecting me but last 2 months I been suffering head/eyes tension/pressure that can vome and go and last for hours over hours when when I quit minoxidil for a few days.

P.S. kirkland minoxidil foam (5 months) + propecia (9 months) did improve my hair afterall, i will post pics soon. Although lately i been playing on and off with minoxidil and finasteride trying to figure out whats causing what. But now im living a differently kind of hell which ill discuss in another post.

Hey man, I've been using Minoxidil for 6-7 months now. At first i experienced itching, a lot of itching. but then it went away and until now i havent experienced any side effects. ive been on propecia for a month now too, hoping it will work.

Only reaction I had was thicker facial and ear hair.

That's a good time mark, if you're a responder you should probably see some results by now. By the way are you using foam or liquid? What quantity do yiu use. And which brand?

I had major unbearabe itching with kirklands liquid and called it quits after 1 months, took a month break and switched to the foam and it works quite good but it's best suited for shorter hair in terms of ease of application.

So no headaches, head pressure feelings at all?

Only reaction I had was thicker facial and ear hair.

Hahaha. Once every 1-2 months i literally use a razor to shave my ears. It's most likely not even necessary but i like these easy to do type of groomings when I'm in the mood for it. Thicker facial hair is always a win.

What quantity are you using ? So I imagine no headaches or anything of that sort ?

 

[mr_robot]

I use 2ml liquid, day and night mixed with stemoxdine, peppermint oil and s-equol. Total liquid per application is 6ml so my scalp gets pretty wet and I don't get headache. The only time I have anything resembling a headache was some tightness around my hairline when I dermarolled before an application. It really depends on how much you skin absorbs and that varies between people.

When minoxidil really kicked in I didn't realise a 1"+ hair growing on the outside of my ear.

I have seen results actually, not significant but its something to look up to. I've been using Rogaine liquid 5% for about 6 months and switched to kirkland 5% liquid about a month ago, havent experienced anything so far. And no i havent had any headaches or head pressure feeling at all.

Dude,

Take it you're NOT using foam, am I correct?

If that bothers you (Kirkland), I would not go higher than 5%.

Oh yes I am using the foam by Kirkland, but I am using a high amount, I go through a bottle in a week and a half. Still not as savage as Pavi that finishes one in 4-5 days. I find it hard to apply the foam directly to the scalp so I am a bit obsessive about it because any more hair loss and I'm fucked in the *** for good unless I go for a transplant, so I spray a heft amount over my scalp and massage the foam in, then brush my hair and once it dries the foam acts as a thickening/hold agent like some sort of a mousse and my hair actually looks better with the foam.

But since I am desprate I may get a buzzcut so I only have to use the half - full caps worth to get full coverage.

P.S. I do have MinoxidilMax 15% No PG and too scared to even try it.

Hahaha holy crap drenching your scalp in 6ml liquid, you must end up looking like a sewer rat for an hour. By the way which needle size do you roll with before application, 0.5mm? Thanks.

It's mainly ethanol so it evaporates in less than 30 minutes When I used the foam, I used 0.5mm, if you are using 2ml I wouldn't bother with derma rolling.

Don't be scared. How many people have bags under their eyes??

Besides, it's a good look. Especially if you want the "Zombie" dead look. There
