My question is, does minoxidil enter the blood stream through topical application? Because if it does, it definitely passes through the blood-brain barrier and interfere with your moods since minoxidil is also an anti-depressant. I've been feeling pretty weird after each application. I'm super cautious about anything affecting my moods (have had a very horrible experience) but then you never know if its placebo or what. So please do advise: does it cross the blood brain barrier?
