Cant use minoxidil- hairline help

[Karmaz]

Hey,

Need some advice here...

Tried using mixox (1mlx1 per day) for the past two weeks.I'm trying to regrow in my temples and hairline and the finasteride (1mg per day) for the past 15 months, has halted the loss but no regrowth.

I got some really bad side effects like rapid heartbeat,dizzyness and difficulty breathing from the minoxidil, so I know that this isn't an option for me

I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative to minxox for the treatment of temples/hairline?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I'd probably go for a spironolactone/folligen combination.Id probably add folligen to my regime if i could afford to.

Did you try 5% minoxidil?
If so, go down to 2% ("woman concentration"). The side effects you describe go away with time. try 2% once a day, then after two weeks go up to twice a day and then the next month go up to 5% once daily for two weeks and again to twice daily. Don't give up. I am SURE you will fianlly get used to these side effects.
Keep us up to date!

Yeah, I was using 5% genhair minoxidil.

It really freaks me out having side effects like that.Horrible feeling having your heart beat fast, makes you feel panicy even when your calm.

I seem to have have lost just a tiny bit more off the hairline from using it over the two weeks, so am very sceptical about using it again, even though i've loads left.

Total nightmare trying to cure this high forehead look eh? :roll:
