It's really not as uncommon or unknown as the guy in that video makes it out to be: https://www.hairlosscure2020.com/oral-minoxidil-to-treat-hair-loss/ Its the detail he goes into about oral minox that is as scary as hell.

I suppose it's possible that I always had it and am just getting up in age and it's become noticeable, but pretty positive it's from the minox.

Senior Member Mikey1970 Posted June 14, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 14, 2023 I have been taking 2.5mg Oral Minoxidil for 9 months. Pleased with some thickening of scalp hair but pretty sure it has given me significant puffiness of the eyelids as a few friends are commenting. Anyone else experienced this? I read on some other forums a diuretic can help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member MaximusEastwood Posted June 15, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2023 I've been using topical minoxidil for a few weeks now and am considering switching to oral. Did anyone have weight gain with it? I saw that was one of the common side effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member LeveledUp Posted June 16, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2023 Man I hope 5mg works for me. Im giving it 3 months for further signs of growth...reluctantly upped dose few weeks ago after 7 months on 2.5mg. If it doesnt that would be 10 months wasted on Oral Minoxidil with 0 results. As opposed to having stuck with Topical 5% min....Everyday I think I should go back and stop wasting my time with oral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that was one of the common side effects I have been on 2.5 mg OM for almost 14 months , and I can say with certainty that I have gained at least 5 pounds in weight , I have asked the opinion of others but have no definite answer from anyone . I have however stopped OM since 2 days so if it's water retention I will know within 10 days if I drop weight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 17, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 17, 2023 Well it's now been one year on 5mg of oral minoxidil. Still so far zero side effects that I am aware of. Definitely has made a positive benefit to the thickness of both scalp and beard hair.

Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted June 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 19, 2023 Have been on 5mg for a year. Excellent result so far zero sides. Hair is thicker all over. Very little shedding, can't believe this treatment was sitting under our noses since the 80s. I started liquid Rogaine when it first came out in the late 80s. I hated it as it was messy and made my scalp itch. Used many variations over the last 20 years of liquid forms. Nothing comes close to the oral form for results.

Regular Member ljpcarrera Posted June 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Yes sir, I am religious of yearly checkups and blood work. Loniten oral for high blood pressure can go up to 40mg. I feel 5mg is safe for hairloss, would not go any higher.

Sure I’ve heard someone say elsewhere he experimented with taking 40mg of oral minoxidil in the past lol If it’s any consolation I’ll likely be dropping oral and going back to topical 😂 Edited June 25, 2023 by LeveledUp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
