Weight gain with minoxdill

[baldblondie]

I'm using it twice a day, I don't really show the weight I've gained from minoxidil. i'm 5'9" 180lbs, pretty muscular and lean. when it warms up i will get back to jogging and doing more stuff outside.

when i used minos i have put on weight around the waist i ve put on 7lb so quickly, and my face was puffy, it is water retention, so the gym doesn't help much

My belly fat has gone down using minoxidil once a week twice a day , because I didn't want to quit and loose my minoxidil hair , my hair is stable

Update quit drinking , using minoxidil once a day anxiety is under control and I'm not gaining weight now , I'm wondering why anxiety and alcohol mixed with minoxidil cause weight gain

I have been wondering this myself, I think I have put on weight around the waist since getting on minox but I cannot verify that completely although I know that I did stop it for a week or two and my facial seemed to improve as well as the pigmentation under my eyes but that could also be completely coincidental.
Sometimes I look into the mirror and think okay sure you look okay today but some other days I will look at the mirror and feel like someone just slapped me in the face.

The best thing you can do is work harder than you ever have to improve yourself from the inside out and keep up your treatment until something better comes along.

I think my instance is a little different to yours considering I went from 5% foam minox twice daily to Polaris (which seems like it has vanished and no one from the official site is answering, worse yet the uk email address is dead) twice daily. Polaris nr11 has I much higher level of minox and topical fin.
I am now doing foam in the morning and polaris in the night.

Monitor yourself carefully and be diligent with your time and training.

Please note that anxiety and depression has been noted to cause weight gain which may also be a factor in my weight gain.

Hang in there thechamp, all of you just as I am.

The reason I think it's anxiety and bindge drinking because , I never gained weight all those years on minoxidil , all of a sudden when I was drinking I put minoxidil in and I could feel the weight on my hips , it's to do with drinking alcholo and minoxidil water retention ?
