getting side effects

[dietcola]

alright i've been on rogaine for about 18 days, at first all was well, had some bad shed for a week which really fucked my hair up...seems to have slowed down now.

but i have been getting side effects. i get a dull headache about 15 minutes after applying foam, lasts for a half hour maybe.

my heart rate also increases and it feels like it's pounding, and i can't stop it.

anyone else get this at all?

you on liquid minoxidil or foam?

is your scalp dry or hydrated when you apply the minoxidil?

how much do you apply in an application?

i'm using foam. headaches persist, but i cut down the amount i use and that seems to help.

the heart rate thing which was concerning me the most seems to be associated with being sick, not minoxidil. unfortunately i didn't realize how sick i really was and immidiately attributed it to minoxidil.

i sure hope my hair fills in tho, its pretty hideously thin.
