"Fine hair growth. Have taken minoxidil for 39 years, and it controlled my hbp. Ten years ago, my Dr cut it in half and added atenolol. One year ago, atenolol was removed, and lisinopril was added. I have been hit with low BP to black out limit. They refuse my needs now. I feel death is near. My Dr. France Wong will not help but insists to go to ER."

"I've been using this drug for over 6 years in combination with Clonidine. This drug works great, but the user needs to be very careful because it will increase your heart rate and needs to be used in combination with another drug. I currently have normal blood pressure after many years of high blood pressure."

"I have taken this drug, minoxidil, for 42 years. At 40 years, my doctor added a water pill, which has helped a great deal in pressure swings. I do have an irregular heartbeat, thinking side effect. Wild hair growing is ugly, it has to be pulled or trimmed on a regular basis. For me, it worked."

"I have been prescribed this medicine because I have kidney disease with high blood pressure, and I'm not urinating much. I work, which keeps me on my feet, and it has caused fluid to build up terribly around my ankles, my legs, and my face, and my pressure is still high. Don't take this medicine, it's torture."
