The doc prescribed it and said to stop if I felt anything I didn't like or it didn't have any effects, left it up to me. I haven't noticed any difference at all to anything, in 4 months, however, since both he and the pharmacist warned me it might cause my chest to swell

I didn't mention it because I've never tried it, never really even considered it once I saw the price of it!
I accepted my hair loss many many years ago and even if minoxodil really does better than what it says on the tin, I doubt I'd ever really grow a full head of hair, and what I did get would almost certainly be grey to white, so it simply doesn't bother me.
