| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR ROGAINE EXTRA S | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Hair loss | Topical version. So first day I used it once in the morning and once in the evening as directed. Next day used it once in the morning. That same day, my second day of use, extreme anxiety/panick attack, severe headache, neck and jaw pain. To be fair I suffer from anxiety and take citalopram for panick attacks. I've been panick attack free for about 3 years until today. I believe the rogaine pushed me a little over what my medication currently controls. No doubt it was the rogaine that triggered it though. I won't be using it again and recommend no one else does either. I had no idea this was a potential side affect. It's not listed on the medication or any general website. But after finding this site and seeing all the non biased personal reviews, sure enough, this stuff is poison and has just as bad if not worse side affects than mine. I'm at least glad my soldier still stands tall and I still feel the urge to clap cheeks | I'm really hoping that only using it 3 times won't give me long term affects since I am stopping immediately. I'm VERY aware of my bodily functions and I know for sure it was rogaine that triggered this episode. I'm going to just stick to the microneedling and maybe try some natural vitamins. Or I might even embrace my baldness since I'm fairly attractive and have a decent shaped head. | M | 31 | 2 days Liquid 2X day | 6/21/2021 | 1 | balding | I literally can't get it up, I wake up without morning erection and completely lost all random erections at a daytime. semen is so watery. I was prescribed by dermatologist that told me the drug is safe. Now she doesn't believe me that I got those side effects | I am so freaked out about this since the sides don't go away and remain without changes even 2 weeks after I stopped using this poison. I will never touch it again. It's terrible I hope I will recover soon. Please DM me if you know how to cure this condition | M | 22 | 3 weeks 1mg 2X day | 6/15/2021 | 1 | beard | ED, No libido, no longer able to get erection at all even manually. Minox ruined my life. It has been a month and no improvement. I am very much worried | Never ever try this sh*t. | M | 25 | 11 days 0.5ml 2X day | 6/14/2021 | 1 | Beard | I took Rogaine for 6 months to enhance my beard growth. After 3 months I noticed that my erections were weak and I could not get it up pass 50%. My erections were never weak prior to minoxidil. I had a high sex drive and would go 3 times back to back with no issues. I guess minoxidil only effect a certain number of people in this manner. I stopped minoxidil after I noticed the horrible side effects. Also my morning erections went away after 3 months on minoxidil. So to cure myself I tried many vitamins and supplements for months. At last I finally found the dou to get me back to 95%. I mixed maca with ashwaganda. I take 1500 MG of Maca daily in and 1 pill of ashwaganda created by Nature Made. You can get the maca at GNC or Walmart, 3 maca pills provides me a total of 1500MG daily. I take both vitamins together in the middle of the day after a meal. After just 1 week I noticed that my erections were stronger 95% and sex was again achievable. I've been doing this theory for two weeks and thought that it would not be fair to keep the findings to myself. And no I was not watching porn prior to minoxidil or while on minoxidil, so the erectile disfunction should not be blamed on too much porn. Porn induced erectile distinction is another story that does not apply to me. Minoxidil caused me to be impotent. Good luck. We will make it through this. | M | 25 | 90 days 5% 2X day | 6/11/2021 | 1 | To reduce hair loss | The worst side effect was impotence. I could not achieve an erection while on minoxidil after about a month of use. | Why is the medical community denying that minoxidil causes complete sexual dysfunction?! | M | 50 | 90 days 5% 1X day | 6/8/2021 | 4 | balding | Tough to say... I gained 40 lbs after about a year of taking rogaine, but it was also the moment we went into lockdown and I stopped working out. And it was quick, too. I don't know if it was because of rogaine, but I did stop just in case and am back at a manageable weight. In order to figure out if the rogaine caused weight gain (which would have been the ONLY side effect) I am restarting for a few months and will keep working out to see if it happens again, in which case I will stop for good. | I did not experience any sexual issues on this medication, don't believe everything you read on the internet | M | 22 | 2 years 5% 2X day | 6/1/2021 | 1 | hair loss | Join Reddit community if you suffer from side effects | https://www.reddit.com/r/MinoxidilSideEffects/ | M | 18 | 1 days 1 1X day | 5/26/2021 | 1 | hair loss | Join Telegram group if you suffer from side effects | t.me/joinchat/AAAAAFCFxK7aQf--BpSt7Q | M | 18 | 100 days 1 1X day | 5/25/2021 | 1 | Hair growth | Very bad for your health. I got fast heartbeat, my libido was gone within 5 days and I could not get erections anymore. After some time I would get some erections but to weak to have sex unfortunately and my libido was nothing like it was before. After countless efforts to treat the problem during 2 years naturally without success, my doctor suggested Human chorionic gonadotropin and we added enanthate with it. I was back to my old self within 3 months. Stay away from minoxidil. | M | 34 | 14 days 2X day | 5/25/2021 | 1 | Beard | If you've made it here, and was able to look past all the paid promotion sites, don't take it. Ever. It will ruin your heart and cause weird heartbeat sensations all over your body, along with consistent muscle twitches at rest. | M | 17 | 1 days 1X day | 5/24/2021 | 1 | Male Pattern Baldness | ED, Zero sex drive, increase heartrate. i thought it was the finasteride, i stopped finasteride but my libido is not improving and found this page. | U can experiment but if there is any signs | M | 33 | 13 days 5% | 5/24/2021 | 1 | Hairthinning | Hair thinning improved. Same story as everyone else really low libido can get erections but smaller than before by a fair bit. Stopped today see how things go. | Do not use | M | 45 | 2 years 2X day | 5/23/2021 | 1 | Hair growth | Poison. Get away!!! | M | 40 | 20 years 5 2X day | 5/22/2021 | 1 | Beard | Anxiety, insomnia, impotence, genital shrinkage while flaccid, ed. | Looking back symptoms probably started right away, but it was very gradual. Took me around 2 months before I could not get it up for sex and started wondering what is going on, untill I found this site. All other sides vanished, except for impontence/ED after about a week since stopping. ED seems to be getting better by the day. Ill post an update once i feel it is significantly better. | M | 36 | 2 months 1 2X day | 5/17/2021 | 1 | Male pattern hair loss | Headaches, chest pain, dizzyness, complete loss of libido, penis shrinkage | There is hope. Don't give up. I decided to write this because two years ago I came to this forum and found a lot of comments of people who, like me, had been "castrated" by minoxidil. I took it only for a month and got the worse side effects just the same. I used to be into muay thai, exercize everyday ans had a good diet. Minoxidil destroyed all of that. I couldn't lift or run for three months. It also made my libido disapear completely. Looking at my girlriend naked or at porn had the same effect as looking at a rock. My penis was always soft and it shrunk noticeably. The worst side effects lasted threw months. After that my penis went back to normal size and I started having erections again. But my libido was still low and my erections were very hit or miss. I could never get a "full" erection as well. Everytime I exercized my penis got softer as well. So I stopped exercizing. One year after this, not much had changed. I was sure that at that point the effects were irreversible. And I developed depression. I seeked help and learned to deal with the fact that I would never have a normal sex life again. But it never ceased bothering me, it's hard to live with that. But then my penis started getting real erections again. And slowly it went back to normal. It took more than two years for things to normalize completely. But I'm back to normal. So I'm writting this here so you people don't lose hope. It's possible that things will get back to normal | M | 26 | 30 days 1X day | 5/15/2021 | 1 | Beard growth | Panic attacks, low libido, erectile dysfunction, vertigo, dizziness, fatigue, mood swings | I’ve found so many things challenging in my life but not as challenging as these side effects. This is my theory, I believe Rogaine contains minoxidil, a chemical that was previously used as a blood pressure medication (normally to lower bp). So when u take this having a generally low bp, your brain will go into dysautonomia, this is when the brain is unable to regulate the body processes, of which one of them is blood pressure, hormones(others including breathing, hormone regulation). As a result, u get rapid heart beats, anxiety (caused by hyper activated nervous system), depression e.t.c. Furthermore your brain is the one that signals your adrenals, thyroid and testicles to produce the required hormones. Somehow the rogaine affects the brain to stop producing the required hormones , one of them is testosterone, hence the popular Erectile Dysfunction. This is how I treated it: I took the following supplements: Vitamin C- 1000mg Quercetin- 500mg B-Complex- 50mg Omega 3 fish oil- 4500 mg Vitamin D- 10000 ius (lower dose after your levels have gone up) Magnesium Glycinate- 250mg Nicotinic Acid- 50mg Zinc- 15mg Selenium (every other day) D ribose- 5-10g per day (stopped take this in a month as it was giving me anxiety) Co Q10- 30 mg (I stopped taking this in a month cause I was make my arrhythmia worse) I was also doing breathing exercises, good diet, good exercise, fasting, intermittent fasting. Everything that promotes the body, mind and nervous system | M | 23 | 90 days 5mg 2X day | 5/13/2021 | 3 | Thinning hair | I feel like minidoxil topical has helped me keep what hair I have a bit longer. Without it, I might be completely bald. I am shocked to read the reviews on here about it causing ED etc. Personally I have not experienced any side effects but I think I am going to discontinue use because I trust this site and I believe the reviewers on here are unbaised. I have emailed patients on here before about propecia sides and have gotten good responses. I did experience sexual sides with propecia and discontinued use immediately and thank goodness I got out ok. | 33 | 5 years 1 ml 2X day | 5/9/2021 | 1 | Hair loss | Erection problems, not interested in sex, high blood pressure. Joint pain, penis shrinkage | Obviously this effects people differently, keep hair or better sex life... hmmm better sex life for me... hoping it will happen?? took me 5yrs to throw this crapp in the bin | M | 46 | 5 years 1X day | 4/30/2021 | 1 | Hair growth | Erectile dysfunction, libido loss and watery semen. | I used Rogaine foam 5% for 6 months and got ED, almost zero libido and watery semen when I stopped using it. There's been 6 months off minox with NO significant improvement. I have a very healthy lifestyle practicing strengh training combined with cardio at least 3 times a week, don't have any desease, never had psychological problems like anxiety or depression and never had any sexual problems before minox. If I had found this page in time, I'd never have touched minoxidil! This poison just ruined my sexual life, please take it in consideration before you decide to use this shit. In the last 6 weeks I took some supplements (vit C, B1, B6, B12, Zinc and folic acid) with almost no improvement. If someone found a cure or any treatment which can help me, please email me! | M | 31 | 6 months 1ml 1X day | 4/27/2021 | 1 | Hairloss | Erectile dysfunction, loss of morning woods, watery sperm, shrinkage in penis, hard to maintain erection | I stopped for 3months but I haven't recovered at all. If someone knows a solution pl help me. I am worried about my future. | M | 19 | 6 months 5% 1X day | 4/27/2021 |
