Minoxidil its giving me huge water retention

Before starting, YES MINOXIDIL its fucking working and love/hate at the same time. (personal experience)

Keeping a quick resume;

First time: trying minox oral 5mg/ dutas 0.5 after 3 month mark even before my bowel pattern changed + a lot of time peeing myself + bloating 24/7 making me inflammated internally and losing appetit. So far any change in diet that includes lactose or gluten. After stopping the medication most of the things reversed my GI issues kind of persist probably and imbalance or something.

Second time: Finas 1mg for (3 weeks ) + Minox oral ( 5mg) at the mark of 3 months boom again started to be worse and worse. Left side of the body very inflammated (no fking able to fart) and bowels changed. Blamed finas but looks like it was minoxidil… I tried a second time and I was feeling this water retentino internally. So I recently started topical but worried to lose all the density and healthy state, having already shome shedding (I think)

My current medication: 1 mg Finas (Month) + Minox topical (1 week)

After stopping all this side effects reverted, things are way better. My GI its a bit wacky anyway. So far no ED, libido feel like its the same (getting old 27y) and my hair its better than before so worried to lose all.

Did yesterday foam maybe too much foam (2 full caps and 2 half melted) and in the night started to pee extremly a lot even when I wake up. Also it is possible that cuts in my fingers can increase the systemic absorption leading to this sides?

Yeah, too much foam plus cuts on your fingers can up systemic absorption. That could explain the crazy peeing at night. Your body might be telling you it doesn’t like high doses. Stick to topical, use the right dose (1 mL max, 2x/day), avoid broken skin, and monitor sides. If it still hits you systemically, you might need to go to lower frequency or lower concentration
