| 1 | Panic attacks, Heart palpitations, low blood pressure, shaking hands | My son started Rogaine about 9 months ago. After taking Rogaine for about 3 months, he started to complain about heart palpitations and general uneasiness. He is a very fit, slim healthy male. No medications, no drugs, no alcohol. Played three sports in high school. I did not connect Rogaine to this. His syptoms progressed until he a had a full on panic attack. We were all very worried. No history, nothing. The only thing we could think of was the Rogaine. He stopped using Rogaine and his symptoms seemed to disappear. He wanted to try again so he started about three months ago and sure enough symptoms came back and another full on panic attack. He kept saying he felt like he was going to die. Heart pounding out of his chest. He is NOT a complainer. I googled Rogaine and panic attacks and this came up. We have since discontinued use as nothing is more important than your health. Yes, these symptoms are real. Very real. My son does not discuss his sexual health with me so I can not speak to that. I, unequivocally, do NOT recommend this product. I will report back in 3-6 months to let you know if he has had any other side effects or if things went back to normal. | M | 21 | 6 months 1X day | 3/2/2015 | 1 | Genetic Hair Loss | Feel my heart pounding in my chest/palpitations/slight chest pain. Had a really bad night with it last night so have not applied since. Anyone know when the heart pounding will go away? | M | 33 | 3 days 2X day | 2/26/2015 | 1 | Hair Growth | Horrible effect on my sex drive and ability to keep erect. Body itched, throat glands ached snd joint pain. | Do not use this product. It should not be allowed on store shelves. | M | 50 | 120 days 5mg 2X day | 2/25/2015 | 1 | male bald pattern | Loss of libido; erectile dysfunction; problems with ejaculation; heart racing; weight gain; itchy scalp; itchy body. This thing sucks, rather keep my balls. | I'm 26, very healthy and athletic. Have never been under any drug prescription in my life. After 45 days of using this awful medication, I started experiencing some side effects such as heart racing, itchy body and some other minor things that I noticed after I started using Rogaine. I wanted to think that the side effects where temporary and not severe, but then I experienced my first ED during a one night stand. I became desperate and started reading about ED then remembered I was on this drug, the only abnormal thing. After reading stuff here and in other places I finally realized I was losing my libido, morning erections and had much weaker erections during sex with different partners, apart from other side effects. I am 100% sure it is Rogaine, because I wasn't even aware of the possibility, so it couldn't be psychological. The side effects started slowly and made me think they were already there. Stopped using this yesterday, lets see how long it'll take for ME to get back. PS. No hair improvement, and I still have most of my hair, but if it starts to fall out, I'll simply shave it all off and keep my balls! I wish I had came across this website b4 I started. Want poison? Buy this product. | M | 26 | 45 days 5% 2X day | 2/16/2015 | 2 | Slow down balding | To follow up, I've made some changes and began seeing results: I've stopped using it 2 months ago and had seen very little, if no change. So here's what I've done and beginning to see results: 1) stopped the Rogaine. 2) began taking supplements - In the morning I take 2 500mg capsules of L-Arginine amino acid. This can cause an upset stomach/gas but has gotten better. Approx 350mg of Yohimbe. This, combined with the L-Arginine is a natural sexual stimulant and actually works. Also an energy booster. Can cause excess sweating and make you jittery. Small price to pay. Just have to figure out what dose works for you. Zinc - Has some sexual health benefits and boosts immune system. Garlic- Odorless pills, unless you want to smell like bad Italian food. One multivitamin - The B vitamins are key, the rest doesn't hurt. Everything available through Amazon. 3) I've also lightened up on deodorant / antiperspirant with Aluminum in it. May not make a difference but doesn't hurt. Being winter, just a little is enough right now. 4) These issues started before I began taking anti-depressants. However, I've stopped Zoloft and now take a low dose of Welbutrin instead. Welbutrin hasn't shown any sexual side effects that I can find. Hopefully soon, I'll phase that out too. 5) I'm also phasing out Concerta 54mg I've taken for probably 10 years for chronic fatigue. Stimulants/amphetamines have actually increased sexual stimulation for people. But they start | M | 43 | 5 years 5mg 1X day | 2/9/2015 Patient History | 1 | Hair Growth | Tiredness, General feeling of being unwell, lack of energy, depression, total loss of sex drive. Absolute minimal difference to hair. | Used for 8 months. Decided to stop using as didn't feel was working and within a few weeks started to feel really ill/ Really not worth the time or money. Nasty stuff. | M | 32 | 8 months 1X day | 2/5/2015 | 2 | Hair growth after transplant | No erections - no desire - penis looks tiny it was normal before | M | 47 | 3 months 2X day | 1/19/2015 | 5 | Get my facial hair and body hair | Decided to try to darken and fill up my facial hair and chest hair. After 5 month, noticed hairy butt, legs, armpit, chest hair getting fuller and longer. Hair all over ticker, darker and longer. Beard got fuller but my erections were not as hard. Then I researched, shave my body and beard, and decided to it was better to have no hair at all like a baby bum but get my hard erections back and enjoy sex the way I have always been. I figured that it is all on our heads. We guys compare ourselves too much. It is better to be who you are, bold, hairless and fuck like a real men all day all year long then have a head full of hair, hair like a bear, handsome like no other and a flaccid dick? No way. I am happier now. Bold all over and my hard erections are almost back, morning erections coming back since I have stopped this poison application. | I would never touch this drug again. | M | 53 | 5 months 5% | 1/18/2015 | 3 | im in the same boat as you bro,,,I dont know if I should start rogaine or not...if I dont start anything soon my hair will keep getting thinner and thinner... | M | 26 | 1X day | 1/9/2015 | 2 | i thought of taking but?? | Hi guys i really thought of buying this product rogaine.. But after reading these sad news from everyone feeling so sae and in many other websites people who used this rogaine thy said its a nice product positive comments.. Bot now im totally confused.. please suggest me what to do...???? | M | 27 | 1 days | 1/6/2015 | 1 | Hair loss | Stated with scalp, face and chest itch in early years, then itch all over body. Aged, bumped skin. Dark circles. Puffed face. Red face. Skin changing color to yellow. Lymph node on one back/side of neck (posterior cervical lymph nodes) and below both ears (anterior cervical lymph nodes) are inflamed. Posterior is solid, noticed it a few months ago but could have been there longer. Anterior comes and goes over the last year at least. Doctor said body is inflamed, hence reason for lymph node activity. Lymph node staying like this for months, when accompanied by body itch, must mentioned to your doctor as it can be signs of an illness. I have seen others mention lymph not just the visible, but also internal viewable via scans, that subsided when stopping for a few months. THIS IS NEVER MENTIONED AS A SIDE EFFECT. I slowed taking foam in late 2013. Stopped early 2014, but went back to liquid 2014 for a few week on a couple of occasions. Went on a water fast for a few weeks with l | I started with liquid 5% minoxidil, by different well-known retailers (Rite Aid, Costco and Wal-Mart). Then moved to foam 5% and symptoms got more severe. | M | 38 | 8 years 2X day | 12/23/2014 | 5 | To improve my sex power/stregnth | I havn't had any but I want to start taking to improve my sex power/strength.. | I want a try....!!! | M | 25 | 1 times 1 | 12/9/2014 | 1 | To prevent further hair loss | I have experienced severe sexual side effects - loss of libido, inability to gain an erection, inability to keep an erection, loss of morning erections and loss of involuntary erections during the day | M | 38 | 120 days 1 1X day | 12/4/2014 | 1 | Thinning vertex | Unable to get erection, loss of libido. | I used this product for about seven months. For the first six months, everything seemed fine and then suddenly towards the end of the 7th month, I crashed! I was horrified to discover I couldn't get an erection! It felt like I was somehow "blocked" in my lower abdomen and sex glands. I quit using the Rogaine immediately after I went online seeking answers and discovered this website. The worst effects went away after 3 and a half weeks but it took another six weeks to fully recover to my normal horny self. I am fully recovered now. This horrific product should be pulled from the shelves and banned! | M | 45 | 7 months 5% 2X day | 11/30/2014 | 1 | hair loss | loss of libido, watery semen, difficulty mantaining erection | please anyone who has recovered from this update their situation here, Im desperate, only five days using it and I think I ruined my sex life forever, please help me im only 26 years old I cant live like this | M | 26 | 5 days 5% 1X day | 11/13/2014 | 1 | Be careful with this thing, Dr. Detect me 2 renal cyst, thanks to Rogaine 5%, i prefer loss my hair but save my life. | M | 33 | 7 years 1mg | 10/21/2014 | 2 | Hair loss | Decrease in Sex drive, weak erections, dark circles under my eyes, | I have been using this drug for 7 years; because it reduced my hair loss a little bit, I kept using the drug. but I didn't notice (or didn't take it serious) that they drug is impacting my sex drive until recently. I used to be able to have a very strong sex drive and power and come few times a day, but since few years ago I have been able to come only once a day (or once every two days), and recently i has got much worse as I've got weak erections which is very embarrassing and stressful. I am now considering stopping this all together and use either Viagra or any other natural sex drive pills to get my sex power back. if anyone has used any particular pills/treatment to get this fixed, please send me an email to share your experience. | M | 37 | 7 years 5% 2X day | 9/21/2014 | 3 | Yes | Unable to gain erection, no loss of libido however. Assumed it was an age thing. After 18 months this created pre sexual anxiety. It was only then I started searching the internet for some resolve. When I found the link between Rogaine and ED. Stopped using it straight away and 4 weeks later , hey presto ! Everything back in full working order. Don't use the stuff get a hair transplant. | M | 43 | 2 years | 9/14/2014 | 2 | Vertex and temple thinning | All side effects mentioned on the pamphlet didn't occur, and the only one not mentioned DID occur, which is decreased sexual desire with considerable dysfunction. I noticed just a week after taking it, that i stopped fantasizing, stopped flirting, stopped having random erections, morning erections, and i even lost interest in sex altogether! I thought i was just getting a hang of my desires, but then i noticed through my browser history, that the last time i watched porn was exactly the day i started it! I tested myself with porn, and got turned on, but erections were softer than usual, so then i was sure something was wrong. I came on this site and read the horrors of ED! I stopped 2 days ago, during which i got random erections for the first time since started the medication. I will document when i back to normal and update. | M | 30 | 10 days bid | 9/10/2014 | 1 | Hair Loss | Loss of libido, unable to maintain erections, no morning erections, unpleasant tingling sensations in the testicles, watery sperm, dark rings under my eyes, horrible heart rate and drowsy mood. | Don't take this stuff unless you want to lose your libido, have limp erections, . I didn't know that my symptoms occurred because of romaine but when I found this site it completely made sense to me. After about 5 days of using this product I noticed a complete lack of interest in sex and I had no morning erections. After some days I also had some strange tingling sensations in my testicles that felt really uncomfortable. The foggy vision started a week after I had taken it and my friends also noticed that I had big dark rings under my eyes. my Heart rate was racing fast when I tried to sleep at nights to. This stuff is poison and I think the pharmacies, doctors and companies are trying to hide the real side effects from us so that they can make an extra buck. I'm gonna see if it gets any better after a month or so detoxing. | M | 21 | 10 days 50 1X day | 8/30/2014 |
