5mg oral minoxidil works crazy well for me, but I had to stop due to shortness of breath. Argh... For some reason I cant tolerate even topical minoxidil now. I had various medical tests and apparently there's no damage as far as I can tell. Anyway, looking back I could tolerate oral minoxidil while I was taking antidepressant ssri medication and the side effects seemed to correlate / increase while I was coming off the antidepressants. I didnt realize it at the time but now I'm fairly certain its related to brain chemistry. Anyway I thought I'd share for info...and those who have sides it could be aggravated by depression/ anxiety.
