Hey Guys,
Here's the deal,
I've been lurking for a while. Been on finasteride for 5 years, since I was 19, but I'm starting to thin in the front (diffuse), albeit slowly (somewhat noticeable). I picked up a bottle of Rogaine Foam two days ago after much deliberation. About twenty minutes after my first application (I only plan on using it at night) I started getting brain fog/headache. When I woke up, it was actually a little worse. All day today I've been feeling sluggish/faintish, probably due to a reduction in blood pressure. Also, when I woke up I had a nasty metallic taste in my mouth and an itchy throat. I just applied it again and almost immediately I am getting an altered taste in my mouth. I was worried that I used too much, but I only used half a capful per instruction. Has anyone experienced this? I have heard that some people get headaches but that they go away eventually.
What do you think I should do? Stay with it or give it up? I'm worried if I try to stick it out and wait for the side effects to fade, I could hit a shed along the way and be forced to give it up because the sides aren't diminishing; a nightmare scenario. How long should I wait this out, or, how long until you think a shed will come. Help much appreciated.
Part of me just thinks I should shave my head and get over this curse. Hair loss is making me a paranoid dude.
