I got a hair transplant done 5 months ago and a couple weeks after it got onto Minoxidil, and also took a bunch of other supplements every day. I never made the connection back then but I've actually had a very rough 5 months...
Biggest problem I've faced is insomnia - and the funny thing is I've enjoyed really solid sleep all my life - 8-9 hours every day. I've gone through a lot but it never affected my sleep. But last 5 months I've been finding it impossible to get more than 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Recently I've been feeling low / depressive moods as well - this might have to do with the sleep issues or could be an independent issue.
I kept attributing all these issues to a bunch of factors like 'life changes', etc... But the timing is impeccable. Also, I stopped minoxidil a week ago and that very weekend slept like 11 hours every night! And started feeling like myself again...
Of course, I'm extremely vary drawing conclusions - the mind can so easily be misled and the world is full of unwarranted beliefs and conclusions.
Have you heard of or experienced such side effects from Minoxidil? I actually couldn't find much user reports with similar symptoms so really questioning my conclusion... If this is familiar, would be great if you can point me to similar reports...
