Thanks Transam for the input!

I am a long time user of the 5% minoxidil Equate brand from Walmart and am going to switch to Kirkland 5% brand minoxidil to see if it is any better at keeping side effects at bay. I have a big problem with dizzy spells and psoriasis and I do think the minoxidil plays a part in both. Has anyone...

Do any of the members have a hard time controlling scalp psoriasis and do you think there is a possibility minoxidil 5% could be the cause or irritate it?

I have used minoxidil for a number of years. Altho it hasnt given me much growth it has prevented me from going bald. I found out using and leaving it on my scalp Batiste Dry Shampoo is a great concealer hiding all my thin areas. I was wondering tho if adding minoxidil on top of the Batiste...

I have been using the generic finasteride from all day chemist for 3 months with slight improvement in my hair gain but nothing to brag about. I have always noticed how hard the pills seem to be and wondered how well they were dissolving in my body after swallowing. I think I will start biting...

I am 66 years old and have always voted independent. Sometimes Dem. sometimes Repub. I will never vote Republican again. How they can support a President who degraded them and and made fools of them from the very start is beyond me. In the republican primaries he degraded and made fools out of...

I been on it for 3 months now and about ready to toss it. I have not seen one hint that it might help. My hair is now thinner than when I started. I have also not seen anything on this website that has impressed me. There are a few with very minor hair loss that claim improvement but I think...

Can't scream this loudly enough: DO NOT take anti-depressants. furrydome,would you say this also applys to women. My wife has been losing hair like crazy the last few years without any reason but now that you mention it that is about the same time she started taking antidepressants. I know they...

You better be careful here. Im sure its unlawful for you to be selling or giving away any prescription medicene. Also if someone took it and had a heart attack or something you would get the pants sued off of you not to mention jail time.

Thanks you guys for the input. I really appreciate it. Trichosan your wording is perfect and truthful. rclark I had to chuckle at your comment that it might make me look 65 again.

Same problem here Mark grant. I have used it for many years with no side effects but for the last 2 or 3 months I have been having terrible eye side effects. I use Walmarts Equate 5% liquid. What do you use? Also about the same time I started developing flaking problems. Seems like they changed...

I have never seen any alcohol free. Last night I used 1.0 dermaroller before bed without using any minoxidl and I still woke up with burning and bloodshot eyes so maybe the minoxidil wasnt causing the burning with me. I think I might stop the dermaroller. I also had a heck of a fever after the...

Equate contains alcohol. I also get burning of the eyes and bloodshot eyes from equate.

I use Equate 5% and I am thinking about adding some alcohol to it. They changed formulas or someting and now it seems oily and when it drys it starts flaking. What brand have you been using?

The reason I posted this is because I have been dermarolling for about a month now. And my eyes have been bloodshot ever since a started. I worry a lot if all this minoxidil isnt going into my blood and heart and everywhere else the blood flows.
