Monistat... dare we start this again

**Messyhair** · January 24th, 2011, 07:26 PM

Okay, I've decided to try this out again. I had great results with the 4% last time but it made me poor, so I'm trying the 2% this time around. I was diluting the MN a lot last time, so I hope that by diluting it less (or not at all) I can get some results with the 2%.

I'm worried about the headaches aspect, so I'm not going to try it out tonight as I work early tomorrow morning. I guess I'll start it tomorrow evening and see how it goes - then I'll know how I react to full strength MN.

How long does it normally take for any side effects to show up? I'm doing pretty good after 4 hours of undiluted use. Am I in the clear or is it something that could happen at any time during use?

I think you are in the clear!
When I first started using MN, I diluted 2% and got an immediate headache!!!

I just started this and I'm excited to see what happens. I was doing it a little here and there over the months but now I'm three times a week and never got any side affects. I think I see some progress we will see

but next month I will be keeping better track.

I had headaches in the first 15min, but diluted works for me now.

Hmm... maybe I have a high tolerance due to all of the drugs I come in contact to day in and day out. At work, that is. Not recreationally.

This will be my third day this week using full strength 2% MN and it seems to be going well. I look forward to measuring next week!

If I missed it in here, I'm sorry......but can anyone tell me if Monistat will adversely affect bottle blonde coloring?

I so desperately want to do this, but don't want orange/green/ whatever colored hair. lol!!

I don't think it will discolour the blonde, but you will have to dye the roots more often with the accelerated growth.

Hi im a newbie i joined this forum after a nightmare trip to the hairdresser

I'm going to try this cream i hope it works. I had a question about the cream i live in the uk so will be using daktarin, is the normal Daktarin Cream 2% the one to use or should i use the athletes foot one?
Also just curious but does this make new hair grow, i have lost a lot of hair due to stress and was just wondering if this would help.
