    Default Minoxidil side effects ????

    hey guys and gals,

    I'm Brad... Just another late 30's balding guy seeking releif

    I have been lurking on the forum for a month or two now just reading any info i can gather. So I have a question too the minox users out there.

    I have been using a generic brand minox available in Australia called Hair a-gain. it's simply generic minox 5% i picked up at my local pharmacy.
    I have recently have noticed that i have been becoming angry to the point of rage over trivial things. I never have been one to go off my rocker or break or destroy anything out of rage. but lately I have done. and I have no explaination why... except the fact I started on minox. It can be something as simple as assebling a brand new TV stand and getting frustrated... then heavey handed and angry. even playing an xbox game i got agro and threw a controller... these are things I've never done or behaved like previously.

    it's gotten to the stage where I have been angry at work over trival things and thats NOT like me at all... normally i dont give a shit as the world goes bye.

    It's not the hair loss either, ive been balding for years byt just recent ly decisied to try and tackle the situation.

    I tried google and had no hits really, has anyone else experienced a short temper and higher rage level since taking minox??? or should i be looking elsewhere?

    PS: I have never seen a doc about minoxidil... I reseached alittle on the net and decided to give a a goos chance... I really want to give it 12 months if I can.

    I haven't had this side with Minox. But about 4 years back I started using MuscleTech's naNO-Vapor to lift more in the gym, its is basically a vasodilator. I had a similar effect, it made me a little angry, but I burnt most of it in the gym. It wasn't anything crazy, just was a bit more shot tempered. I don't know if there is any connection b/w that and minox, but even then, using Minox tropically shouldn't have a mind altering effect. Atleast thats what I think.

    The possible side effects of topical Minoxidil are mild and well tolerated by most people who use it. Actually, most people who use Minoxidil do not experience side effects. I have never read about anyone having your problem as a side effect of using Minoxidil. Nothing like it is listed as a possible side effect.

    Well.. thats a releif that no one knows of any such side affects. Like I said I don't want to stop using the stuff until i have given it a good chance.

    Perhaps my shitty job is getting to me a little more than i realise or something. It's only been the last couple of weeks and all I could come up with that ive done different is use the Minoxidil.

    Anyway guys, don't think im a raving lunatic or something... Thought it was worth asking the question tho.

    ta.

    Brad.

    Default Me Too

    Took Minoxidil for about 2 weeks and started to get angry at the drop of a hat. I usually never get angry. Tried putting on less and less, but still got angry and headaches. Anger stopped a few days after stopped using. Started using again and started getting angry again. Never went back.
