Is minoxidil spray just as effective as foam and liquid?

They do not sell foam in my country and everytime I have to get up early since I'm an university student, so liquid rogaine is no option to me. I use spray and in some of the instructions it tells that you spray it on the balding areas and then rub it with your fingers. I'm worried that minoxidil will not reach every part of my scalp this way(I have short hair, btw). I've been using it for almost a month now, at first I started at lower dosage then went to 1ml 2 times per day, I did this in order for my body to adapt, since even with 2 percent solution I had a horrible blood pressure.

I used finasteride and figered out that I was too young for it, I'm 19, btw, the loss of horniness and numb penis was way to much to me(I'm not an anti-propecia troll, use it all you want, everyone's body is different, a lot of people who can bear it adapt and have no problem, but not me).

The problem is that they do not sell foam in my country and importing it is very expensive. I'm worried that it will not have the same effect as foam or liquid. So I wanted to ask your opinion about this.

The Minoxidil spray will be just as effective as the foam and liquid since all three forms contain the same medication.

I have side effects rogaine liquid, but with foam no and it works better.
Now that you mention it I also have a few side effects, but I don't give a damn. I feel a little dizzy, because of lower blood pressure and I got very hairy on my body(new ****ing hair follicles appearing everywhere, but not my scalp), the only thing that really bugs me is little hair growing on my nose(removed it with sharp scrissors, btw..). My hair looks like **** and it's very oily, but sacrifices have to be made. I'm also in shedding hell, lol, people at uni think that I'm 25 when I'm 19, **** this **** if I go totally bald they'd think that I'm 40, everyone in my uni have maintained their teenage hairline, even the older dudes do not look like they are balding, **** this, **** this.

I'm also using Nizoral/Once or twice per week and I'm planning on using Revita, to kill that ****ing DHT on my scalp, it sucks that finasteride gives me sides(Never take that thing if you have high estrogen, ever). I plan on getting a hair transplant next year assuming minoxidil works for me, for some it even provides splendid results without finasteride, at this phase it would not be that much expensive, however my hair is not thick as thick as it used to be.

Not to mention that I'm fairly certain that my hair loss started 1 year ago(Yes, my hair was so ****ing thick a year ago I'm not sure what triggered the start of my male pattern baldness, but I think it's my DHT going berserk since I was very horny, almost abnormaly since my teenage years) and that must mean I have high chance of seeing at least some regrowth since the hair follicle dies completely after 5 years and yes, I do have bald spots on my hairline.

I don't give a **** if after a few years my hair looks like **** after hair transplant. I'd sell my soul to regain even a few years of my youth that was so short-lived. Now I don't feel alive anymore, all my dreams and ambitions, they are gone. I don't even like what I study and I cry and feel bloodlusty anger often.

Maybe I have a different version of Maria Antoinette's syndrome in which extreme stress causes me to bald very fast and it triggered my male pattern baldness. I say this, because last year I was basically emotionally tortured by my parents, they literally threatened to kill me if I didn't pass the exams and I had insomnia, didn't sleep well, my diet was ****, cried and felt very angry almost every damn day. I understood that my mother didn't value my life, just my achievements in order to brag for her friends. I wanted to go to a dermatologist, but couldn't, because she didn't allow me to and I went there only after a half a year since my problem started.

Even worser that that I went to a ****ty dermatologist. He prescribed me Rogaine 2 percent, I got sides, then read about Propecia. After about 1 later since my thinning began I went to another dermatologist to get prescription for finasteride and it turned out to be a disaster, but at least she told me where the hell I'm thinning, lol she told basically everything I know from hair loss forums. I was so terrified and preoccupied with getting finasteride that I didn't ask her which Norwood am I or what my donor density is.

And now a month later I'm using Rogaine 5 percent and this time I take it seriously. There's no escape. Ignoring my problem and the viewpoint of my parents has cost me to loose even more hair that I would have normally lost If I would have started taking medications earlier.
