Has Anyone Else Experienced This After Dropping Minoxidil?

[davesmith420]

Hey guys,

I was on minoxidil once a day for about 6 months. I didn't notice any real differences compared to baseline so I dropped it. It's been about 3 weeks now since dropping and I'm noticing how my skin looks so "young" and my face is looking very chiseled. Has anyone else experienced facial bloating like that on minoxidil? I thought it was just a bunch of bullshit...

Yes, same thing happened to me. My skin cleared, pores got smaller and my face looks more chiseled. This happened after I quit minoxidil again about 4 weeks ago. I realize the stuff acts as a toxin for me. Too bad because I think it does help.

Good to know that it wasn't just me being crazy. This sh*t can really cause it. I don't think I'm a responder to it anyways as I didn't notice any real changes.

Have you not also been dieting?

Anyway I'm modestly concerned with these issues so I might switch to a lower dose of minoxidil.

To be honest with you I've been eating like a slob due to being stressed out with school

I'm on a constant fluctuation of being extremely shredded and being not so much

One week I have the cheekbones of a model and the next I look like an estrogen pushover, repeat

Just ate some chinese food and it bloated me like minoxidil. If I do all my cooking I get chiseled again. Low sodium food and lower carbs are my friends.

Yeah my discipline with my diet varies from week to week based on my motivation level and various stresses in my life. I can gain and drop 10 lbs very quickly...Even a few lbs difference makes a DRASTIC difference in my face's chiseledness though

I really don't think minoxidil is affecting my face in any noticeable way....My face is often extremely defined and chiseled, and I've been using it 2x day for over a year now. Correlation of my facial fat always reflects how I'm eating

I use food for comfort too. If I have a busy stressful day but makes some really good money, I want to cheat and order some take out. And my two favorite foods are the worst types of food, asian food and pizza/meatballs. I love Cuban too. Mexican on occasion. I like Greek too but we don't have any good greek food in my area. I am jealous of Johnson because I love Vietnamese food too. He can have that all the time.

 

[michel sapin]

do you think minoxidil can cause dark circle ? it is one of my main concern .

 

[michel sapin]

i am afraid that minoxidil make me look older . Or maybe this is the fact of being depressed which cause it .

 

[Pacey123]

If it did anything then it's that it gave me massive thickening on the whole head including temples and even the sides of my head. Oh yeah and little bit of dandruf as a side which i can live with looking at the positive things.

And due to more and denser hair i am estimated to be much younger than i am now, so definately no wrinkle progress or eye puffiness.

Hope you don't become diabetic. I love Mexican, and Indian food the best.

That said, only eat mostly salads these days. Still need to lose weight.
