Minoxidil Discussion

[ascendingcoper]

Hey guys, I’m looking to start minoxidil soon for some thinning at my temples and a bit on top. I’ve been tracking it for a few years and it's probably time to start something even tho it’s really not that bad.


I’m can’t decide between oral or topical minoxidil topical.

I’ve read up on the side effects like edema/bloating and heart palpitations. The data says the risk is low, but I’m curious about real-world experience:


• Did anyone deal with noticeable bloating or water retention?


• For those who switched from topical to oral, did you see better results or a bad shed?


• Any issues with heart rate or palpitations?

I've been taking topical minoxidil for my brows so it's a bit different, but unlike the oral version it has ZERO side effects
