Minutes ago I tried my rogaine 5% foam for the first time and almost fell to the ground!! :freaked:

I know I'm supposed to use 1/2 a cap but I went too fast and had maybe 2/3 of the cap full of foam...I told myself it couldn't be that bad, I started to try to cover as much of my scalp as possible with that tiny amount of foam and got maybe 30% of the top of my head concentrating in the areas where I have the less hair. Everything went fine, washed my hands when I was done, started walking around the house doing other things when it hit me like a truck!!

I got so dizzy I was sure I was gonna pass out, I had to lie down 2-3 minutes...now it's been maybe 15 minutes max and I already feel 80% better.

Damn this sh*t is strong, I'll be more careful next time...I think I'll wait 24h before I do this again, it would be a very bad way to start the week tomorrow morning.

Haha, that's crazy. Be more careful !

It's so annoying how us humans vary. It doesn't matter how much minoxidil I use, I never get any dizzyness/bloating/hair etc..

ANNOYING.

I'm not allergic to anything and usually don't have many side effects from any type of medecine so I really didn't see this coming. lol

It's been over an hour now, I feel much better but I'm still not 100%. :?

Yeah getting hair from rogaine is always a nice option.

It took me 2.5 hours to go back to normal, this was a little too violent for me...hope I get used to it.

I don't get any side effects either, but my scalp is looking a little pink from all these topicals. Or maybe it is just pink like my face.

I can pretty much bath in 5% minoxidil and nothing like this happens. As a matter of fact, I actually apply a shitload of minoxidil.

Yeah but you forgot; you're a liar. As is blatantly obvious from the ridiculous photos you posted a while back.

God why does this forum attract so many freaks... :roll:

That happened to me the first time I used the foam, though not so intensely. I went dizzy, had to sit down and got a headache. The effect was milder each time I applied it and it no longer affects me. I'd like to think it means it's working. I never had that experience on the liquid.

Round 2, 48h later I used a 1/4 cap instead of 2/3...I feel much better than last time, I'm still a little dizzy but I can still do my things.

In 48h I'm gonna try 1/2 cap and from then I'll keep 1/2 cap per day and eventually I'll go to 2 times a day.
