When I started using liquid 5% minoxidil I experienced dizziness for around 4 days. I was using .5ml only at night. I couldn't walk in straight line, I had to be extremely careful driving my car as everything was spinning around. I decreased dosage to around .25ml and dizziness went away. Then I started slowly increasing it to .5ml and I never experienced minoxidil dizziness until today, 3 years after.

Yesterday I bought new bottle of Rogaine 5% minoxidil. At 10pm I putted slightly more that .5ml (just a bit above the indicator line). I also shakes the bottle with minoxidil before using it. Something I have never done before.
This morning I noticed dizziness. It's not as extreme as 3 years ago but still quite annoying. I will again decrease dosage to .25ml which is enough to cover my hairline and put a few drops on the crown. I'm wondering if tomorrow I will be slightly dizzy.

Yesterday night I applied less than .5ml and today I don't feel dizzy. I will try to up the dosage in a few days to see what happens.

Another day and I feel fine but I'm still applying a little less that .5lm.

I think dizziness could be combination of minoxidil and low air pressure that day. It was rainny and the temperature changed dramatically from 48F last Saturday to almost 90F in a matter of a couple of days. Typical New England!
