Need reassurance from veteran minoxidil users

[kirk]

Hi all,

I hate that we even have to discuss this stuff, but I have been having some possible sides with minoxidil. What I want to hear is input from people that have had zero sides with this drug. I also would be encouraged if you did have sides but eventually adjusted to it.

I hate it. I wish i never started using.

I have been using Rogain for Women for a year. I grew a mustache, but I can deal with that. That's the only side effect and it may not be due to Rogain.

What sides do you think you have?

A lot of the side effects that people list, I got those side effects before I even started any regimen.

Much of it is just the natural aging process.

After starting my regimen, I haven't had any sides at all. The sides that other people list are often the things that happened to me naturally just due to the aging process.

Hello Kirk, Have you tried scaling down your minoxidil applications to 1X per day. Believe it or not their are some well informed minoxidil. users who claim they are achieving equally positive results with just one daily application. All the best and thanx for sharing.

Thanks guys. I will scale it down to 1x a day and see how it goes. I'm getting the puffy look from it.

I'm 4 months into using minoxidil 2x per day and not a single side effect. I did however not last long on finasteride. A hair loss dr told me minoxidil is just as effective once per day.

Update: I started once a day PM application, and sides are pretty much gone. I also drink more water. It seems to help.
