hahasu87 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I applied minoxidil 5 % on my face for 3 days straight (just 0.5 ml). But have been dizzy and lightheaded from day 4. I discontinued immediately. But now after 10 days of stopping, I'm still dizzy and lightheaded for most of the day. Can someone tell me how long it takes for the side effects to go away? My BP was slightly low after stopping, but its normal now. Your inputs are highly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 14, 2019 Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2019 Consult with a doctor. Persistent side effects are not experienced with minoxidil.

hahasu87 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Thanks for you reply!!! I did consult my doctor. BP and blood work looks good. I'm generally very healthy and this happened right after I started applying minox. Anyways, my doc gave me anti vertigo meds for a week, but so far that's not of much help! I've read in other forums that it could take up to a month for some of the side effects to go away.
