Has anyone experienced this side affect from topical liquid Rogaine for men?
I’ve been using it for about 10 months now consistently. It has definitely helped with my hair re-growth however a couple weeks back I believe I used a little too much of the drug...somewhere around 1.5ML during the morning.

I nearly fainted in my local bank. Called my doctor and he recommended I take a break from it for a few days. I’d say for the next 48 hours I felt like I was in a “haze” and just out of it.

Clearly I absorbed too much in my body which probably dropped my blood pressure. After all I believe that’s what minoxidil was originally used for, treating high blood pressure?

I took a break for a week however I’m back on it now and am a little paranoid of this happening again. Obviously I should just stick to the recommended amount but still... I’m wondering if I should just cut back to 1x a day instead of twice and monitor my hair.

Any opinions would be great.
Hair is great... but so is your health...
thanks, Brad.
