You guys should be careful, this is me after 2 weeks of 5mg oral Minoxidil.

I woke up today with a completely swollen face and also burning sensations around my hearth. 

Will eventually go to the ER, if it is still there in the evening.

I have a separate thread on the forum for my procedure with Dr Bisanga 3 months ago, however I thought I would post a thread regarding my experience with oral minoxidil. 
At consultation Dr Bisanga recommend I took oral minoxidil - I started on 2.5 mg - 3 months later I went for my procedure and I upped the dosage to 5 mg.

Although the before and after pictures are at slightly different angles my crown and top of my head are most definitely seeing a big improvement. 
I am also 3 months into my procedure and growth has started. Fingers crossed it continues to do so 🤞

I'm a big fan of oral minoxidil. However I have had ECG's, etc and everything is normal and I have never had any side effects after one year so far on 5mg a day of Loniten. That said I think anyone considering using oral minoxidil under the guidance of a good dermatologist should watch for sides starting at a lower dose than 5mg.
