    Unhappy I am getting side effects... *HELP PLEASE*

    I think it is from minoxidil or ketoconazole shampoo.

    I think it is minoxidil since I feel dizzy/drowsy and kinda nauseous. I feel kinda ill and so on.

    I did lower the dose a lot the last week though so I really don't know why I would get it now. Perhaps it started going to work a since I started using it and im only now experiencing the sides?

    I am pretty sure it is not finasteride doing this.

    I leave my keto shampoo on for a long time, but I doubt it's that.



    Do you guys have any ideas here? I am only using 2% minoxidil. Once or twice a day.

    I am going to stop using both keto and minox for a few days, see what happens.

    Thanks for any help.............

    do you apply the minox with wet hair? how much are you applying at once?

    check it. if you put on too much you will get an anxiety/nausea feeling. wet hair makes it soak in more and makes the chance greater.

    I apply about 1.5-2ml at once. Because it is only 2% minox.

    I apply it mostly to dry ish hair. Isn't the whole point of it to absorb lol?



    I read online and found some kinda ghetto remedies though. If I drink coffee or eat salty snacks etc I feel way better again lol.

    I have always exercises(body weight exercises, not a meathead lol) a ton in my life etc and have always been having low blood pressure. Learning a lot because of hair loss etc.

    I am considering discontinueing minoxidil

    From wiki, for oral minox:

    "Side effects of oral minoxidil may include swelling of the face and extremities, rapid and irregular heartbeat, lightheadedness, cardiac lesions, and focal necrosis of the papillary muscle and subendocardial areas of the left ventricle."


    I only use topical but my heart does slighty pain after using topical? I am shivering right now...I usually do sometimes during some days but recently it's been way worse. Low blood pressure i suppose. I think it is minoxidil that is aggrevating it.

    Can 2ml of 2% minox really do this? Can topical minoxidil really influence the system this way?

    I have not taking finasteride in 26 hours, gonna take it right now. So I doubt its that.


    Any tips on what I should do? I think it might work for me I really want to continue.

    But like I shiver slightly and feel kinda ill. What to do?


    Can any of this be related to keto or finas?


    Thanks a lot for any help!

    I wish you well, KeepTheHair. You seem a nice guy.

    Unfortunately I don't have any experience of those products.

    Why are you posting that link in this thread???


    I don't have any problems down there, at all. Finasteride has not given me any sides.


    It's just I am wondering what this slight pain is in my chest area. It feels like a mild burn. Sometimes more spiky. But very very mild. I doubt I am delusional. But I guess it is possible.

    If anyone has any knowledge about something like that, please let me know.
