Okay I switched to the Foam, which is great, but I've used rogaine off and on since about 2001, i was never steady with it, and my hair has very gradually and slowly been receeding over the years, but it causes me side effects, and I can't predict when.

I only use HALF of a capful and I still feel the sides, so I'm wondering if that's more a placebo or just in my head, or if minoxidil could really have dangerrous sides.

I've had panic attacks/anxiety before, and sudden unexplained tachycardia, which is just rapid heartbeat out of nowhere, and i've had other health issues , but nothing dangerous....and when I seem to apply the rogaine, I just tend to get a bit weird. I can feel it do something on my scalp, like a slight pressure/warmth/tingly feeling, and i get kind of tingly in my arms, and sometimes i feel my heart flutter.

That scares me, and I also get sides with Propecia, and I'm really depressed over it because they're proven treatments.

I want to keep using them more regularly, so if anyone has ANY advice , maybe I should lower dosages, then tell me.

But as of now, I'm thinking of just quitting and looking into a transplant. The sides are annoying.

Also, I use T gel and Nizoral, Tea Tree Conditioner, Nioxin, and even vitamins/supplements. NOTHING has been working/helping so far, at least that I can see over the years, but that's also because I havent been steady.

Just sides, and very little results.

WHat do i do? HELP!

I felt something like that the very first time I used it, never since then. Maybe you should not use if you are having some sort of reaction. Good luck!

i feel the side effects like 5 minutes after iapply the foam or something im sure, and it goes away in time.

WHy does it say that people with HEART PROBLEMS should not use the medication, or advise the doctor?
