Minoxidil-Is A Full Head of Hair Worth Possible Serious Side Effects?

Anyone understand the psychology behind spending the time to sign up for an account just to post one message castigating a random stranger for their choice of words?

I'm left scratching my (hairless) head.

Did anyone actually read the posted results? Placebo exceeded Minoxidil in several of the side effect groupings. In other words, those people getting a dose of nothing (placebo) actually had a greater incidence of these side effects than those getting Minoxidil. Even in the situations which the Minoxidil group experienced a particular side effect more often than placebo group, it was by such a tiny margin that it's probably not statistically significant.

OMG. I just spent $20 on Rogaine for women & am tossing that sh*t in the garbage.
NOT WORTH IT!
Also while doing research I found that experts believe the only benefit it provides is enlargening blood vessels in the scalp.
And same benefits received by massaging scalp 30 mins/day.
30 mins seems like a long time, BUT if that means NOT having an enlargened heart ventricle + all the scary as hell side effects ... HELL YES, I CAN DO 30 MINUTES SCALP MASSAGE every day!
Wake up people.
Big Pharma & Corporations ... do NOT have our best interests at heart.
STAY FAR AWAY FROM MINOXIDIL ... from what I've read, this crap is a NIGHTMARE!

My Dr. Prescribed Minoxidil as a Blood Pressure Med along with another BP med. Right after starting I got brain fog, anxiety, depression side effects. Dr. blamed the other BP med & switched two other times to different BP meds keeping Minoxidil. After 6 months of hell I called my cardiologist & he said stop taking the Minoxidil immediately & switched me off it. When I went to the pharmacy the pharmacist said a lot of people are having problems with it. So beware.Just my opinion but the side effects are NOT worth it.
