Anyone feel like they don't sleep as well or as long as they normally do when on oral minoxidil? Haven't been sleeping well and trying to figure out if it's the OM. I take 2.5mg in the morning. I wear a fitbit so I know its not affecting my heart rate during day or when I sleep. Blood pressure isn't affected either and it's good at 120 over 60.
Does anyone have sleep issues on Oral minoxidil?

unlikely, your blood pressure would probably be higher if that was the case. I'd say its something else, probably stress or anxiety.

I take 5mg before I sleep and I have no issues.

I had issues with swelling and increased beard keratin production but none with sleeping and I was using up to .5ml or 25mg daily in two split doses. Now I am at half that and I lost like ten pounds immediately.
What's your favorite soda to wash it down with?

Norwoody, do you know why Almas got banned? It seemed like at the least, he was driving some traffic to the site. I am puzzled because I don't recall him saying anything out of sorts or related to castration or suicide? Some times people are said to ban themselves and a full from Bridge's thread are said to have done that. I feel bad because for six months or so, he's been a daily thing on here and we all got to know him and his background a fair amount, more than I know about you, Mr. Sly, lol.

Hey Janey how many drop of 5ml minoxidil do you take at one, I am just taking once a day, maybe two or three drops mixed with a splash of orange juice
Don't even know he was banned. Maybe he alluded to suicide? I'm not sure. It might also be that he got reported for asking for money maybe? I really don't know. That is surprising.

I did find that off-putting but I thought it had been resolved and he had moved on. Sol, the new guy told me.

I am not very good at counting drops but how many drops are in .125ml X two times daily? Maybe two drops equal 1mg of Loniten but at the lower levels, without the fillers in Loniten, I would add an extra drop or two to ensure full gastric and then liver passage since this seems to be the major, unfounded objection by Rassman, albeit 13 years ago, to "drinking" topical. For many of us, it is certainly easier than choking down chalky pills. Play around with it. I have had a fair amount of unwanted peripheral hair growth but I just keep zapping it with laser so that's only a very short-term concern for people on HRT which seems to dilute some of the hair growth effects. Bridge mentioned his arms getting hairy but I have those zapped too. I recommend trying it thoroughly. It's cheap and it works and let's face it--drinking topical minoxidil is cool. It's like sticking it to doctors and big pharma who are our gatekeepers from great hair.

Coca-Cola. I grew up in the South. How about you? It's what I drink instead of coffee.
Mountain Dew or any other highly caffeinated citrus soda lol

That'll get you flying in the morning. That was my guess for you but I didn't put it in the message so it doesn't count.
Great guess! :O
