Minoxidil 2% Side Effects Vs 5% ? Anybody Successfully Managed To Reduce These?

[Jaggs92]

Has anybody who has experienced systemic side effects on the 5% strength minoxidil successfully managed to reduce these by switching to the 2%? I’m having some pretty unpleasant cardiac side effects and fatigue and was considering lowering the strength of my minoxidil to try to combat these.

I’m referring to topical minoxidil, current using Lipogaine sensitive version.

Do girls usually use 2% because 5% causes irritation or because their smaller and more prone to systemic sides? I’m guessing a lower dose would be more manageable. I’m thinking about doing the same.
