If Minoxidil causes anxiety/bad skin & eyes how do you reverse it?

Question:

Funny enough, they are causing me similar side effects.. But a different type.. Yes my face was bloated on both drugs.. but the minox bloating was water retention.. while on finasteride it’s due to hormones.. It’s more like swelling.. It’s hard to explain. And yea.. I look tired alot.. I dunno what the deal is.. maybe I should get off the drug, but for now I have nothing else. Worse comes to worse i’m thinking of jumping on to spooky’s regimen.. He’s making some incredible progress. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Great stuff, thanks. What you say about Finas giving you rings under the eyes concerns me. A) I’ve come off Minox and am considering Finas as a replacement. But I don’t want to replace one dark-ring causer for another! B) Redness & puffiness are listed as Minox side-effects, but are not listed as Finas side-effects. In other words, I would expect Minox to cause them, but not Finas. So, how can you be sure it is the Finas doing it this time round? And why would it — it works in a completely different way to Minox so the same side-effects are very unlikely. Thanks. HS Altho, since i’ve taken up finasteride for a second bout, the skin seems to be looking a bit worse (rings under the eyes, bloatedness, unevenness). I don’t know I will resolve that.

Response:

Forgot a really cheap thing that makes the skin look amazing.. its called NaPCA.. it comes in a solution by twin labs.. real cheap, like 2 bucks. Spray this stuff on your face throughout the day (works best after shower) and watch your pores just dissapear.. Someone on this NG suggested to me and i’m thankful for that, it works great. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Ah sorry about that. OK, As to get the skin good real quick get some sort of pore refiner/exfoliator.. I can’t name any in specific cuz i haven’t given any of those a shot really (except a facial masque once in a while). 1) Pantotehnic acids, take megaloads for a few months and watch what happens to your skin.. start at 1gram a day, go up to about 5grams. 2) Kombucha Tea, really did help in making the skin smooth, pores small. 3) Retin-A micro 3-4 nights a week, Will tighten up the skin nicely. 4) Anything that will help flush the crap out of your body, do it. Make sure it isn’t some scam BS tho.. Things like Kombucha Tea, Wheatgrass, etc should help.. You can fast for a day or two with only drinking water and see some more results.. This is all I can think of now.. and it’s probably all I did.. my skin is not 100% again, but close. Altho, since i’ve taken up finasteride for a second bout, the skin seems to be looking a bit worse (rings under the eyes, bloatedness, unevenness). I don’t know I will resolve that. Please detail the "skin products and detoxifiers" you have found work best. Cheers. HS Sure did.. took 2%, had all that crap happen to me, went off of it and recovered about 75% with a summer full of good diet and exercise.. Cleaned out my body. Mind you, I never went back to normal.. I am starting to get close however these days with skin products and detoxifiers.

Rob?…

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi Rob How long were you on Minox before you came off it? How long after coming off it did the puffiness subside? I was on Minox for about 8 years so for me the redness never completely went and I still have the bloodshot eyes and anxiety, after 3 months off it. I think there is some correlation between the time on Minox, and the time taken for symptoms to subside. Anxiety isn’t like a rash, it won’t just go when the antagonist goes. I wish I knew how to cure anxiety caused by medicine rather than caused by stress! HS

Response:

Thanks richlocks, I totally agree with every word you said. But rather than go bald I’m going to try a combo like Proxiphen-N to replace the Minox, Nizoral and (maybe topical) Fina/dutasteride. Have you tried any replacements for the Minox? I guess we’re some of the unlucky % that have bad side effects to Minox. HS

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – OK, I’ve been through all this and I think I was one of the main guys to post on this. I took 2% for a year, grew hair on my scalp, but also all over my body. I got black rings under my eyes, lost definition in my face (swelling/puffiness), looked and felt tired/depressed, horrible skin (big pores, old looking, etc), however no real anxiety. I got off the stuff and it seemed to fade away after 3 months but you gotta go and exercise .. run.. do the exact opposite of what it did to your body and things will change.. Try taking megadoses of pantothenic acid to get your adrenal function up again.. Use some skin products to soften up the skin and shrink the pores.. and take any detoxifiers that you can, they do actually help. Give this a try and i’m sure your symptoms will get better, but stay off the minox. And whoever said that they’d rather have hair with all these side effects, then rather be bald and normal has no idea what they are talking about. When you get these side effects it’s a nightmare.. you look and feel like absolute shit, and I think I’d rather be bald.

Response:

Another 2 questions: 1) If my adrenals are already over-reacting, would taking "megadoses of pantothenic acid to get your adrenal function up again" as you suggest be wise? It is already "up". 2) Did you try any double-tests to see whether just doing the exercise, detoxifiers, skin products helped. Maybe it wasn’t Minox causing these side-effects, but rather natural ageing and lack of exercise? I’m just playing Devil’s advocate here, I don’t actually believe that – but it’d be nice to completely rule it out and be 100% sure it’s Minox before we all come off it. Thank in advance richlocks HS

This is mainly because most of these people’s symptoms came almost immediately after starting Minox, when they had never had the symptoms before that, and have no other reason for the symptoms.

Response:

While I am not going to argue that this doesn’t happen, I will argue that it doesn’t happen in nearly as many people as you are insinuating. First off, There’s a million POSSIBLE side effects listed on any drug. It’s what users experience when they do the study, there’s no 100% proof it’s not coincidental either. If 1% of people had puffiness on their face that would be reported. 1% doesnt mean everyone. It’s like the nizoral study that 1% lost hair. So what – the other 99% grew it. Sometimes there’s no cause and effect. You know what you can eat a fruit and get an allergic reaction and get hives. Does that mean fruit gives you hives? I’m sure these symptoms can definitely occur from minoxidil but let’s not start blaming the sun on them like we did propecia. Be HAPPY WE HAVE THIS TO TAKE. Our dad’s had nothing but polysorbate. KC

Hi Marcel Sorry to hear this. There’s a lot of us out there. As I said I went off it for over 3 months and I didn’t get much better. The only improvement was my under-eyes which were slightly less red. Do you get puffiness at the top of your cheekbones too? This is another side-effect I get. The Minox leaflet does admit it causes facial swelling/puffiness. How long have you had the symptoms and how long on Minox? Did they start after Minox? What have you done to combat them? Describe your anxiety and how it affects you? What has your doctor blamed it on? Keep in touch. HS
