| 1 | Used for thinning hair front scalp | Extremely low to no libido at all. Difficulty masterbating, impotence, few or weak or no morning erections at all. Shrinkage in size of placid penis. Before Rogaine, I could come at least 3 times per day. My penis would be rock hard and I could perform for hours. I now because of Rogaine I have very serious E.D. Stopped Rogaine 2 weeks ago. Sexual side effects have not gone away at all. I'm very worried... and I just started dating a new woman. Does anyone out there know how long it takes for the sexual side effects to go away. How many weeks/months for everything to go back to normal after stopping Rogaine foam 5% twice daily. Please email me if you know when libido returns to normal. Very worried! | M | 53 | 9 months 1 cap 2X | 7/26/2014 | 3 | For Hair loss | Decrease in Sex drive, weak erections, Dizzyness, dark circles under my eyes, difficulty breathing while laying down, face looks darker, increased in weight, Muscle ache, felt physically weak, stomach pain, and digestion problem and occational bleeding through my anus while pooping | I pretty much described all the side-effects I had during my use. Good thing was my hair looked better, after initial 4 weeks my hair loss was decreased and after 12 weeks my hair density has increased significantly and existing hair looked thicker (both on front and back) and I was happy with the results but very unhappy with constant stomach pain and all the other side-effects I have listed. It was just 4 dark long months in my life, due to all this crap I felt disconnected with everybody and I decided to stopped it. Before and after I was in very good shape, happy and healthy working out quite well. While I was on this medication I try to tell my self everyday don't worry about the side-effects it will be fine. But its not quite fine guys. All the hair that grow during the application is falling down and worse. I think what this medication does is to super elevate the hidden problems in your body, it will help to diagnose possibly much bigger problems . Like I am doing now, if u guys have too many side-effects please go to doctor and get a tailored or master health check-up. Note: Remember don't stop the drug in one day, do it progressively meaning reduce the dose slowly from 2 times per day to 1 time per day and 3 times per week and once in a week and halt completely. This is suggested by the doctor. Still searching for alternate ways to fight hair loss, wish use all good luck, and hopefully one day we might have risk free solution. And last suggestion for folks who are | M | 27 | 4 months 5 % 2X day | 7/24/2014 | 1 | Hair Regrowth | Complete loss of libido, puffy face, black holes around eyes, fat storage went up, failure to maintain erection, ability to get an erection massively decreased, premature ejaculation during sex | UPDATE : I took rogaine for 3 months, applied it twice a day 6 sprays in morning, 6 at night. Once I stopped applying it, the physical symtoms (puffy face, fat retention, black holes under eyes) started to subside after a week or so. regarding sexual dysfictiation , im happy to let you all know after a month, i returned completely to normal. It was a very depressing time, as im sure you are all going through this now, but make sure u exercise 5 times a week, try not to worry about it and eat well, it WILL come back. I used to browse this website everyday looking for updates, so I thought id offer one now the problems have finally gone. DO NOT EVER TOUCH ROGAINE STRENGTH, it is not worth it having lots of hair if you cant use your d1ck! | M | 25 | 3 months 1ML 2X day | 4/24/2014 | 1 | Hair loss | Terrible itching all the time. Insomnia | M | 62 | 30 days 2X day | 4/2/2014 | 2 | Hair Loss Frontal and Temple | Erections are hard to get and are soft. Normal penis size shrinked. Low semen volume. | I bought 4 months supply of Rogaine foam. I used it on frontal and temple region. Only it's affect on hair happened as told. First 2 weeks: Noticed nothing. Hairs were falling as usual. 3-8 weeks: I started losing hair heavily and it continued for a month. Then small hairs stated growing in frontal region and hair thickness improved. But erections were less strong. Morning wood became rare. 8-10 weeks: Hair thickness seemed to improve a bit and those new small hairs in my frontal corners grew to a size of 1 cm. Hair fall stopped completely. Not a single hair lost i n a day. But erections became hard to get. Once even after my girl stimulated it with hands didn't get any erection. Could only get one when I was really relaxed. 11-19 weeks: I panicked and started going to gym. Exercised 5 days a week. And reduced the doses of rogaine to once daily. Things improved. Erections are back but not as before. On the days which I exercise I get very strong erections but if I don't, erections are weak. Semen volume and fluidity has decreased for sure. 20th week: 4 month supply is about to end and bought more for 3 more months. My hair now looks fuller but I am worried about I sex life. I am yet to get married and have kids. If I exercise, eat and sleep well I get good erection after simulation. Random erection are gone. Never experienced any problem with heart or anything else except that sometimes I feel increased heart beat. After reading other reviews, undecided th | M | 25 | 3 months 1 g 2X day | 3/24/2014 | 2 | yes | decreased s drive. swollen feet.. itching on lower feet. swollen face. | do not let this on your skin(othr than scalp).. gets absorbed fast.. causes increased heart beat, low bp.. and tiredness for ~8-10hrs | M | 28 | 60 days 5% 2X day | 3/4/2014 | 2 | For hairloss | A noticeable exacerbation in my condition of hair loss along with itchy scalp and acne. Also a reduced libido, failure to maintain a decent erection and decrease in penis size by at least an inch or two. | All of which has blasted my confidence and has made me very depressed with anxiety. | M | 3 weeks 2X day | 1/19/2014 | 1 | Hair Loss | Potential slight improvement to hair. However, experienced decreasing sex drive, loss of morning erections (and the accompanying good kind of loin burn), soft erections, some trouble getting erect for sex, and interestingly, started to have some premature ejaculation (couldn't hardly last). Stopped taking it and immediate improvements in 3-4 days. Feel back to normal after a couple of weeks. | This is need to know info for those new to it. This all crept up on me, particularly right after I was turning 40 and I thought an age bomb went off on me. But too many signs were pointing to something else which made me start reading deeper into it. Glad I found others experiencing the same issues. Spread the word, because these side effects are real. | M | 40 | 4 months 5% 1X day | 12/20/2013 | 2 | thinning hair | loss of energy, loss of libido | taken for 3 months. reflecting now, my libido has been quite low and I am more tired than usual. Remains to be seen how quickly things will improve. Hair looks a bit thicker on top, but I prefer to have my regular sex drive... FOR ALL OF YOU WITH SERIOUS ED SIDE EFFECTS ETC, I'D RECOMMED RATING THIS PRODUCT ON AMAZON, SO THAT MORE PEOPLE WILL LEARN ABOUT POTENTIAL SEXUAL DISFUNCTION. IT IS WHERE I ORIGINALLY CHECKED HOW SAFE THIS PRODUCT IS AND THERE WAS NO MENTION, JUST COMPLAINTS ABOUT PRICE OF INEFFICIENCY | M | 42 | 90 days 5% 2X day | 11/26/2013 | 1 | Aloplexie | I have posted the 10/15. After two month without product I have already problem's with libido and soft erection, but I think it's a litte better day after day. And I really hope totally recovered even if it's a long fight. For all, please can you update the forum, it's a very encouraging for people still suffering. | M | 25 | 1 years 5% 2X day | 11/13/2013 | 1 | Thinning hair | dizzyness, headache, soft erection etc | I am posting an update ~9 months after stopping using this medicine since I got emails from others who also suffer similarly. I now almost have normal erection, but maybe 80 percent compared to before, not totally satisfied but happy now, I hope more time will do it. I ate healthy before and now, I kept regular exercise because I think that helps too. good luck guys! | M | 43 | 10 months 2X day | 11/5/2013 | 1 | Hair Loss | Applied once a day at night time for about 5 months until I ran out. Experienced a huge dip in libido a week after stopping. I never considered that Rogaine caused my problems and so a few months later I started using it again; which was the worst decision I've ever made. After about 3 days I noticed I had no ability to maintain an erection, sperm was like water and I suffered badly with PE. I stopped using it immediately (June 2013) and noticed very slight improvements in the weeks after - no PE and semen has gotten better in quality. Still, 5 months on, and my libido is quite poor and it's difficult to maintain an erection without consatnt stimulation - half mast at best. I seem to have maybe one good week were libido goes up to a reasonable level and I get the urge to watch porn but only for it to be followed by weeks of low libido. Mentally, this has been really tough as I've always had a huge sexual appetite and had been very sociable with women. I really hope things improve. I'll make sure to update a few months down the road. Wish me luck. | M | 25 | 5 months 5% 1X day | 11/2/2013 | 1 | fight hair loss | Hair filled in quite well but a total loss in libido. I thought it was due to me having diabetes and aging but after looking online I noticed it might be the Rogaine. I quite using it, and after about 3 months, everything returned back to normal, with less hair though. Horrible drug and ED is clearly a side-effect but somehow the manufacturers were able to keep a lid on it. | Do not take it. No sense in having hair if you can't have sex. | M | 30 | 9 months 2X day | 10/29/2013 | 1 | Aloplexie | This product is very effective for the hair, but at the end of 6 months, total loss of libido, difficulty of having and of maintaining an erection, less sexual pleasure. But also, very kid tires daily, of the problems of concentration…After one month without product, the disorders nosexual have disappeared, remain the sexual problems with tops and bottoms but very far from before minoxidil. All those which posted on the forum, can you make an update? Thank you and sorry for my english. | M | 24 | 1 years 5% 2X day | 10/15/2013 | 3 | Hair loss | I've taken it 18 years. It made my hair darker and a little thicker but it kept slowly falling out. My crown is nearly completely bald but I've continued out of desperation to keep whatever hair I have. Even the best case study photos aren't really that great of result--you have to look closely just to see any benefit. I went to one dose at night cuz I hated the greasy look during the day. I wake up with bags under my eyes and itchy, dry eyes. If I use the full dose, I cannot sleep as my heart races, so I use about a 3/4 dose. Recent complete loss of libido and lack of any meaningful results after so long have me quitting use. I'm now just clipping my hair with a 1 or 2 setting. It's been a few weeks and my eyes look better and I feel better. I never really noticed any sexual side effects but I've noticed an increased libido and spontaneous erections like in my 20s since stopping. I just chalked this up to age but perhaps the rogaine contributed to my decline. | M | 44 | 10 years | 6/16/2013 | 1 | Hair thinning | I feel like I'm dying mixed with tripping on lsd and doing a line of coke (I don't use drugs anymore just occasional marijuana) I just remember how they feel I started using 3 weeks ago and started noticing I felt bad chest pains heart palpitations and extreme anxiety (sweaty palms severely) my heart would race and now I'm off of the product I'm 3 days detox ed and it's still feeling worse then when I was taking it.. I've never had health issues. But before taking it I had my my 30 yr old checkup on my heart all perfect. After taking this I want another heart test.. When i smoke marijuana it lowers my heart rate and blood pressure even lower... Stay away... Do not use.. I'm healthy nd experienced every side effect except the lowered see drive... This shiis poison | M | 31 | 3 weeks 25 1X day | 6/16/2013 | 1 | Hair loss | I think I chemically castrated myself with this stuff. Not from the beginning, but when I switched to a diff brand of Extra Strength. My testosterone is in the toilet, way below the low end of the normal range, I don't wake up with erections any more, I don't even think about sex. | I stopped using about 3 mos ago and immediately started to feel better but I don't know if I'll ever recover fully. I'm researching and employing all sorts of "increase your testosterone naturally" articles. I know it is normal for someone my age to experience a decrease, but this is beyond that. On the plus side, I am eating better and losing weight. | M | 47 | 10 years Normal 2X day | 6/6/2013 | 1 | Hair loss | Suffering sexual side effects for 11 months. Libido is non existent & suffering with ED. Never had issues before using rogaine. . It took me awhile to figure it out rogaine was issue bc originally thought Zoloft could be main cause. My urologist sees about 5 patients a year with men who suffer from rogaine side effects. My blood work came back normal. I see alot of people on site mentioned they seen the side effects disappear within a year soon after quitting . Can anybody share their experience with me about recovering from side effects after 12 months off rogaine ? Much appreciated. | M | 38 | 1 years 2x | 5/28/2013 | 3 | Male pattern baldness | Mild head ache, Libido shift, I just take Aleeve for the head ache and cialis for the erection. Had a hair transplant and doctor recommended it. It does mess me up some. I do not think exactly along the same lines as I did without rogaine but i AM EXPERIENCING HAIR REGROWTH . I think the sexual side effects are probably different for each individual. I am just reorienting my thought processes and trying to find normal for me. My wife likes me better so that is a plus because even though we do it only once or twice weekly now rather than me driving her nuts trying to get into her panties every day things are lining out in some different but acceptable place. I recommend trying 1/2 cap full once daily. It is less than the recommended dose, in fact it is 25% of the recommended dose but it still works. | 68 | 3 weeks 5% 1/2 cap 1X day | 4/28/2013 | 2 | headache, dizzyness, soft erection, loss of sex desire, higher blood pressure, faster heart rate | It did work to make my hair fuller, but it does not worth it to lose my sex life, so I am stopping it today. I wish I had read the side effects before. | M | 43 | 10 months 2X day | 3/7/2013 |
