Here's my story, I've been using minoxidil and Nizoral shampoo with good results. Unfortunately the minoxidil is beating the crap out of my face, I look like a zombie. If George Romero was shooting a movie in town he'd personally give me a call and send a limousine for me to star in one of his flicks. My skin, mainly cheeks are droopy, My face is puffed up (Physically I'm in great shape), there is pressure in my eyes where it's hard to open them fully, and to top it off I got bags under the eyes. Now get this, yesterday I decided not to use the minoxidil to see what happens and soon my face is looking thin again, the bags under the eyes are literally gone and my skin is lookin better than it did a couple of days ago.

So here in lies the problem, I'm almost forced to drop the minoxidil, because it does bad things to my face, but then My hair would look like crap again. What can I do? I'm thinking of sticking with Nizoral only and the other transvestite preparation drug is out of the question. Is there anything else I can replace minoxidil with?

Can you please advise at what times were your applying minoxidil.

I used it for a year. Initially, I had no sides. But the last 6 months were hell.

I used liquid minoxidil (generic). It caused a lot of flaking.

But i think what really caused the sides was that I would use it soon after a shower for increased penetration in to the skin. This I think led to my problems.

I remember there were days when I would sleep for 12 hrs strasight and still wake up with a heavy head, dark circles and red eyes.

I guess everyone's skin is different in terms of reaction. Can you share your experience in detail. thnx
