hi i use laser comb and minoxidil 5% and have seen some promising results. the problem is this: when i wake up in the morning im so hungover still that when i apply the minoxidil i get a smell of the alchohol in it and i throw up from last nights hangover. now i fear my throwing up is causing even more hairloss so i stopped applying minoxidil in the morning and this is also causing hairloss.

any suggestions ??

Throwing up does not cause hair loss. My suggestion is to stop worrying about silly sh*t and apply your minoxidil.

Are you getting hungover from applying the minoxidil? I Assume it's mixed with alcohol (Rogaine?)

Throwing up in the morning isn't likely to deplete the body of much nutrients because you won't have eaten anything (unless you eat sleep!)

If you get a hangover and throw up because of the alcohol you are either really sensitive to alcohol or have another problem. There's such a small amount of alcohol in such products that it's pretty much negligible in terms of affecting the body like drinking does.

I don't want to sound like a mother or state the obvious... but stop drinking so much the night before?!

I can't be a preacher because I've got a bit wasted now and then, but if you know you're going to be sick when using minoxidil, then... I'm afraid to say that in this situation you only have yourself to blame (please accept my apologies if you have problems with alcohol!)

I guess you'll have to stop using one or the other if this is happening all the time.

I think he must be a troll because I'm not sure how he could be "pleased with his progress" after a couple of days, since we all know there will be no progress in that short amount of time. Drinking 100 mg of minoxidil a day is crazy anyway and if he is serious he's not very bright.
