It's been over year since I started - I have (well, at the time - maybe it'll progress if I stop) not too terrible diffuse thinning on top. It's worked pretty well for me - thickened things up.
The last few weeks my eyes look really, really bad - major puffiness and dark circles underneath, and they burn/feel hella dry. I look like death but I feel fine. Sleep is decent, salt intake is average. I've been researching this like crazy (the puffy/dark circle thing), and just now I remembered reading about people who experienced this from minoxidil. I apply 1 cap a day to a damp scalp.
I guess the only way to know is to stop? Completely? Cut down? Have off days?
Man, this sucks if that's what it is - good on the one hand if it is as I can help my eyes by stopping, but awful for my hair if I stop. Lame.
Has anyone experienced this? What did you do? Did stopping/cutting back/ doing it on dry hair help?
I love having thicker hair but looking like I'm dying isn't exactly worth it.
