| 3 | hair loss | My scalp has practically shed in chunks but my hair line is coming back like a Chia pet after 1 week's use. If the itching and dandruff subside after a few weeks I'll continue using the product. | M | 40 | 1 weeks | 6/21/2007 | 1 | Balding | loss of sex drive..poor erections...irregular heart beat, dizziness and heart palpitations/fullters, insomnia, headaches on a regular basis. | This is a serious medication and should not be taken without medical supervision. For what its worth i would not recommed this medication since the risks out weigh the benefits. my normal life...... | M | 41 | 2 months | 6/19/2007 | 1 | Hair loss | Disappearing sex drive; weak or no erections (getting progressively worse with use); small pimples near site of application; sensitive, itchy scalp; lots of dandruff (never had it before); sleeplessness; anxiety. | I have to admit that the product did work - my hair looked "fuller" after I started it. But for me, there was a steep price to pay... the sexual side-effects were just not worth it. And the worse thing is that I didn't make the connection after almost 4 years of use... curious how a few comments have found their way into the patient-review websites, yet there is no mention of this kind of side-effect on the pharmaceutical or quasi-pharma websites. | M | 33 | 4 years | 6/13/2007 | 2 | Rapid hair loss | Decreased sex drive (at age 21!!!), loss of appetite, cramps & pain, massive headaches | I've been using it for a month, but I think i've had more hair fall out since then. | M | 21 | 1 months | 5/21/2007 | 2 | Balding | BIG TIME loss of sex drive and weak erections. Went from love-making 3x a week (and always wanting more) to 3x a month and not much desire for more. Dandruff. Heart pounding or flutters at night - and sometimes a painful "jolt". Scary. If symptoms don't stop, I'll probably quit taking it. Just not worth it. | M | 47 | 1 months | 1/8/2007 | 3 | hair loss | Rogaine worked great at first. I had thinning in the front and it filled it in. I never had itchy scalp - just those damn stains on my pillow and hooded sweatshirts. About a year ago though - it all stopped. I had horrible itchy scalp, major dandruff and major hair loss. It was like my body just started rejecting the Rogaine. I'm still using it though only just once a day. The itchy head is bearable - barely. I've gotta couple of strands that I don't want to let go just yet. | M | 32 | 6 years | 11/28/2006 | 5 | Hairloss | ITCHY SCALP, DANDRUFF (Never had it before, and needed to buy expensive shampoos for this), Scalp PIMPLES (VERY EMBARRASSING!). | Helped to grow back some hair. I've been trying to find an alternitive to this product because of the embarrassing side effects. | M | 21 | 12 months | 10/27/2006 | 1 | hair thinning | depression, anxiety, weird feelings in the stomach, heart palpiations, irratable, aggressive. | Side effects are terrible, it is not worth using it. | M | 21 | 1 days | 8/7/2006 | 1 | | 5/20/2006 | 1 | Hair Loss | Sleeplessness, constant heart palpitations, anxiety, depression. Very bad reactions (full-on panic attacks) when small amount of alcohol or caffeine consumed. | Within one week of using this stuff I had to call the paramedics because I thought I was having a heart attack, turned out to be panic attack. Heart palpitations were constantly present, I thought I was going out of my mind with the sleeplessness this caused. After three months using Rogaine Extra Strength I gave it up and all the side effects went within three days. I've now got my life back! Go bald with pride and retain your health. | M | 34 | 3 months | 2/20/2006 | 3 | receding hair line | Dandruff | Possibly helped slow down the receding hairline. Just for that alone it is worth it. | M | 37 | 4 years | 2/15/2006 | 3 | loss | M | 4 months | 3/14/2005 | 4 | hair loss | No physical side effects, but cosmetically, it can appear as if you have some sort of weird, brown dandruff. | It does appear to work. I grew back some of the hair I lost on my crown. It stopped re-growing after 6 to 8 months, but I haven't lost any in the past two years. | M | 44 | 2.5 years | 11/22/2004 | 2 | losing hair | developed sores/scab on my scalp | M | 33 | 6 months | 5/5/2003 | 5 | thinning hair | itchy at times | Helped grow hair back noticably. | 39 | 6 months | 2/24/2001 | 4 | | 2/20/2001 | 3 | | 2/20/2001 | 3 | | 2/20/2001 | 5 | thinning hair | occasional itchy scalp | I was very doubtful that this would work, but this stuff actually grew hair back on the back of my head. I'm not back to where I was in high school or anything like that, but I did get back about ten years worth of loss. | M | 37 | | 12/15/2000 |
