who here used minoxidil and stop due to side effects?

[Gizmo]

I would like to know if the side effects went away after you stopped.
I believe very few have side effects from minoxidil but really want to know if those side effects are irreversible.

Hi all,

I can definitely add some compelling experience to this thread. Sadly, it is definitely not a positive experience.

FYI, I used to be a regular around this same board years back. It's been so long since I posted that I can't remember my old username tho. And the site wanted my username and email for pass recovery.

I've been using minoxidil for a long time, though right now I'm regreting it. Last night I had a big scare. I had just recieved my minoxidil 15% from an online distributor yesterday. Then last night I applied my minoxidil as normal not thinking twice about it since I had been doing it for so long. Well, let me tell you something alittle crazy.

That night was very rough. I managed to fall asleep, with alittle difficulty, and proceeded to have some very intense dreams. I woke up lots of times throughout the 5 hour period but the most alarming thing was that my left arm and left leg felt like they were not getting enough circulation and were going numb. I was pretty freaked, no doubt! Also for along time now (many years) I have been having slight heart pains. Starting to connect the dots here?

So back to my hellish night of rest last night. After I got up and was quite concerned. Feeling quite depressed by this time, I immediately got on the interent and starting searching my symptoms. During my online search, it hit me. I just tried my new bottle of minoxidil 15% last night; and the more I researched the possible of minoxidil the cause of my symptoms, the more it made sense.

I must admit, I'm feeling very relieved I have found the likely cause for my midnight episode but still very worried about the damage I may have caused my heart over the past 9-10 years. Needless to say, I have booked an appointment with my family doctor for next week. Contemptating on going into emerg as I write this.

Up until now I've been very happy with my minoxidil usage since my hair looks great and still great coverage. I know I would have a much bigger receeding hairline is it wasn't for minoxidil... but now at what cost???

My heart health is not worth the hair factor so I'm going to try to find an alternative. Any suggestions?

I had a.bad side effects from 5% when I overdosed it. I had extreme dizziness and
headache. I couldnt drive my car and it was very hard for me to walk.
It lasted around a week them it went away and i returned to 1ml once a day.

Wait a few days. I'm sure sode effects will go away. I'm sure you overdid it.
If I were you I should stop minoxidil for a few days, wait till sides stop and slowly
start using minoxidil but start with a small dosage.
I also wouldn't use 15% minoxidil. Maybe you could go back to 7% or simply
Use less 15%

I remind you that i'm only asking about side effects that did not go away after you stopped minoxidil

I would like to know if the side effects went away after you stopped.

That's something I'd like to know too. Is this heart/chest pain I've been having for the past 5 years a possible result from minoxidil? I don't know but i'm seeing some stuff about complications with the mitral valve. Tho I am a smoker it very likely from that too maybe and not the minoxidil at all but having that minoxidil scare made me think twice.

I need to get this heart pain thing checked out anyway and if it comes back problems with the mitral valve then its a possibility it could have been from the minoxidil?
