Experiencing Dizziness, Heart Thumping, and Fatigue on 0.625mg Oral Minoxidil After 5 Days - Should I Continue?

I started oral minox at .625mg/day five days ago, with the intention of tapering up. I’ve had pretty acute dizziness, heart thumping, and fatigue already. Are those symptoms that go away over time, or is that an early indicator that I’m not a good candidate for this medication if they’re occurring even at such a low dose?

Oral min can cause those side effects because it’s a vasodilator. Sometimes they lessen as your body adapts, but at such a low dose, you might need to reconsider. If they persist, consider topical options or adjusting the dose.
