anyone use minoxidil ONCE a day?

[dietcola]

i've been using rogaine foam twice a day for a little over 2 months and i have had substantial regrowth. i am obviously a quick responder. but my body has been a little sensitive to it. headaches and slight heart rate increase were present in the first 2 weeks, water retention present in weeks 5-8 and overall hair growth has gone up. my body hair is growing thicker and faster, quite noticable to me since it happened in 2 months, i know it's not in my mind. also my facial hair has pickedup alot, eyebrows and eyelashes included.

so since i am a good responder, i'm looking for others who are using minoxidil only once a day to see if it would be more appropriate for me. i might keep up with twice a day then ween off to once a day slowly as my hair thickens up. thoughts?

is it appropiate to use just on one temple? im thinking about that...MAYBE

I would say try it. From reports that I've heard, the foam tends to be a lot more penetrative than the liquid.

The reason I say try it, is because you seem to be in the same position as me.

I had some decent regrowth early on, and with that some slight side effects, and so i reduced it to once a day which has elimiated the side effects and kept the hair it grew.

if you think the hair growth slows down then get back onto twice a day, but I like the common theory of twice a day for regrowth, once for maintenance.

I used minoxidil liquid for almost 7 years only once a day + finasteride with great results. Eventually if you see my story, the results do diminish though. I say if you're in the beginning stages of hairloss try it. It should at the very least maintain what you've got for a long time.

thanks for the replies guys, let me know how it goes roki, i'm skipping every 3rd or 4th application and just seeing how it goes.

jonny21, thanks for the advice i'm going to cut back to once a day when i hit my max regowth, which would probably be at about 6-8 months. hopefully it can maintain for a while.

I've actually grown more and heathier hair with a once-a-day minoxidil application along with four times a week Retin-a/needling combination vs. twice-a-day minoxidil alone. And I was on minoxidil for probably two straight years before even trying Retin-a.

interesting, i might try retin-a a couple times a week

using it once per day too. this way it leave me some guns if i even need to increase the dosage.

i think the foam is a great products.

I'm sticking with 2x day foam for 8 months before I personally would try to reduce, but I'm 39 and need a lot more crown regrowth than the youngsters on here.
