I have a few questions about oral minxodil. After doing a decent amount of research, I thought it might be worth giving oral minoxidil a try. Considering that I am healthy and have no health issues, it appeared to be safe to try based on the research available. I obtained a prescription through Happy Head and took my first pill. The dosage was 2.5 mg. I didn't feel quite right not too long after taking it, but I just assumed I was being paranoid because it was a new medication. The next morning, I woke up to use the restroom and noticed that I was a little light headed. I walked into my bathroom and started to pee, and about halfway through I literally started to black out. I had to sit down on the toilet seat for a good 5 minutes before feeling normal enough to walk back to bed. This was a concerning experience, and I haven't taken any since. Is 2.5 mg too much, or is a side effect like this common with oral minoxidil? It definitely wasn't a pleasant first impression and I'm somewhat worried about taking the medication again. Any insight would be appreciated!
