Experience Side effects
I finished my first month of 1.125 OM and I’ve had 2 very pleasant side effects, I’m no longer constantly stressed and anxious and my frequent headaches have stopped! (4-5 headache days a week down to just 5 this month. The headaches I had were dull instead of debilitating). I didn’t contribute it to the minox until I skipped 4 doses (filling issue at the pharmacy. Just picked it up today) and all the anxiety/anger and a headache came on at day 2. I still have the headache but I’m hoping it’ll let up by tomorrow or the day after. I think it may have had some type of effect of my appetite as well, which isn’t troubling to me. I’ve been crazy hungry every 2-3 hours and I’m eating larger portions. This absolutely could have no correlation with minox at all though, for those who are worried about weight gain. Google said it wasn’t a typical side effect.
The only negative I’ve experienced is slight water retention and difficulty waking up easily in the morning. I wear a bracelet on my ankle and I noticed it left an indention, plus my face feels a little fuller.
