Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Im in week 8 post surgery. I started using rogaine topical 3 weeks ago. Im experiencing dizziness and headaches. Is this is side effect of rogaine? I was thinking about switching to foam instead of topical rogaine, would that help?

Note: Not using Finasteride.

Its a little confusing as well. Even before using rogaine, I had a few instances of dizziness. After rogaine  usage however, the headaches kicked in which were long, intense and I couldn't get relief even with OTC meds. Now its been over 1 week since I stopped rogaine after asking my surgeon. I have not had a single day of headaches after stopping.

I do believe you should consult with your doctor. Just to share my experience, I remember getting slight headaches in the beginning but went away after the 4th day or so and haven't had any headache since. Just some irritated scalp along the way that may have been just dry scalp and not attributed to Minoxidil.
