| 2 | Pattern baldness on crown | I initially went on the web to check the side effects like I always do before taking a medication, however it seems that all the posive comments or paid SEO sites are saying that there is no proven link between Minoxidil and ED. After seeing first hand what it was doing to my body, I decided to keep digging and I am so glad I did. That is when I found this page. I workout, eat healthy, don't drink or smoke or do drugs and I know my body. I am not on any other medications and have never had a problem getting an erection or sustaining it. When I first started taking this medication I immediately got an itchy scalp. I figured that is okay if it works well. However I have watched my sex life go right out the door. Little to no sex drive, inability to get a serious erection, loss of sensitivity in my penis and can bearly detect when I orgasm. It has definitely killed my sex life. I have thrown away my last 4 bottles and will never use this medication again. I just want other men to beware. | I must say it did generate new growth on my scalp but I am not willing to sacrifice my sex life for a full head of hair, no way! I am praying things return to normal. | M | 57 | 2 months 2 x Daily | 10/28/2016 | 1 | hairloss | loss of libido, weak erections, no morning erections, no nocturnal erections, orgasms don't feel enjoyable, testicular pain, penis pain, flacid penis shrunk, depression, emotional numbness, brain fog, heart palpatations, insomnia, very bad dandruff, watery semen, less volume in semen, constipation, muscle spasms, water retention | i used this stuff for only 2 weeks and i have lost my libido, have erectile disfunction, no morning wood , i feel like an emotionless zombie. this stuff has made my life a living hell and i feel so numb and depressed. i was always a healthy young boy full of energy and life, with a sky high libido, now i feel like an 80 year old zombie, i pray that this isn't forever. it has been 13 weeks later and i still feel the same. i don't want to continue living like this, if anyone has become recovered, please email me, i am beyond desperate | M | 21 | 14 days 2X day | 9/2/2016 | 1 | Hair loss | Loss of libido and 0 sex drive | is been a month since stopping minoxidil 5% but side effects are still there please help me anybody when will the side effects will go | M | 27 | 2 months 2X day | 9/1/2016 | 1 | Hairloss | Poison | I'm a 24 year old heathly male with high testosterone levels and DHT etc, just had it all checked. This drug completely ruined my libedo. I tried it twice, each attempt was one year apart yet both times I had the exact same symptoms. Day 3 - 7 a surge in libedo, feeling hyper and super aroused. Day 7 - 14 feeling pretty normal. Then after day 14 my sex drive disappeared. Can't get aroused even if watching porn etc. Orgasms also not as enjoyable. Please be very careful if you decide to use this drug. And don't even think about propecia, that stuff is undeniably poison! | M | 24 | 1X day | 6/22/2016 | 1 | Regrow hair | Foggy feeling, headaches, puffy face, back pain, loss of libido | I will not be continuing to use this medicine and I would highly advise against anyone else using it. I would rather lose all my hair than have the terrible side effects I have had using this. | M | 41 | 30 days 5 2X day | 3/16/2016 | 1 | hair loss | Poor libido, lack sex drive. Partial impotency | If you are a man and you think you need your hair more than you need sex I suggest you go for this drug BUT if you think you can't afford to lose even 0.0001% of your sex life then never imagine application of any drug from this company for curing hair loss. This drug is rapid sex life eliminator. I always get scared, I just pray I recover. I just hope and pray. Reading this before using this drug you are lucky because I only wished I knew. | M | 28 | 4 months | 3/7/2016 | 1 | Hair loss | Loss of libido sexual desire bladder issues | Only 4 days have I used this product and now I'm suffering I'm extremely depressed and hope things will get better after some time never buy this product please | M | 21 | 1 days 5% | 2/29/2016 | 2 | receding | Seemed to improve hair a bit but after two years the side effects struck anyone who thinks rogaine doesn't cause erectile dysfunction just be damn glad you didn't experience that side effect instead of rubbishing peoples stories | After noticing erection problem and a couple of terrible one night stands I made the connection that it was rogaine causing the problem I haven't used it in 3 months and thankfully things are back to normal not 100% but almost there so try not to panic there is hope | M | 29 | 2 years twice a | 2/17/2016 | 1 | Stop/reduce receding hair. | Loss of libido, weak erections, Headaches and tiredness. It also caused urinating problems - I believe it was causing irritation to my pelvic floor muscles, I even went to the doctor cause I thought I had an enlarged prostate. I stopped using it a week ago and all these side effects have gone. This stuff needs to be taken off the shelves! | M | 44 | 9 months | 1/25/2016 | 1 | receding hairline | Began to see severe side effects by day 4! Fatigue, difficulty with exercise routines I had previously completed with ease. Could barely(with a lot of work) get an erection. My thought process just slowed down. I could barely feel the effect of my ADHD medication(Adderall xr 20mg). I felt sort of depressed and sad constantly | It's too bad because even though the box said that it might not work as well for receding hairline(it's mostly recommended for vertex area) I could see some small improvements after 4/5 days of use. I decreased application to once daily to see if side effects would at least be tolerable but did not work. Then after taking 5 days off I began to feel better so I tried once daily every other day but still it was too much lethargy. Finally I just gave up. I reaaaally tried to make it work because I saw positive changes in my hairline rather quickly but the side effects are just not worth it. | M | 50 | 16 days foam1/2cap 2X day | 1/7/2016 | 1 | Hair loss | No question it's the Rogaine. I felt fine and as soon as I put it on, I felt palpitations and anxious. It's completely made me feel very anxious and easily irritated and, most importantly, my blood pressure went up. Seems counterintuitive on a product initially meant to lower bp, but for sure this is the only thing that's different. And as I said, I noticed immediately when I applied it each night. So hair loss it will have to be. And I'm a woman trying to nip this in the bud but I won't sacrifice my health. Terrible. | I used the 5%. I don't think that's extra strength but that's where all the comments were located so I posted here. | F | 50 | 3 days 5% 1X day | 11/10/2015 | 1 | baldness | Cardiac arrhythmia . Foginess.chest pain . Sexual side effects like decrease in libido ,weak erections,watery semen | Hope anyone will read thus and save his life . I started receding hairline in 20 doctor described rogain 5% without talking about the side effects as he said its rare . Hair falling stopped and noticed hair looks fuller gradually but side effects also started slowly unnoticeable . Ended with continuous heart attack and not able to get hard erection even with manual stimuli as i was horny before this medicine . Finally stopped all side effects are gone but sexual not yet although there is improvement hope i will fully recover . And hair falling started in turbo mode dont know what to do | M | 22 | 2 years | 11/6/2015 | 1 | growth | Penis shrinkage, anxiety, ptsd, psychosis, flu, fever, glands infection, allergic, vision issues, hospitalized, depression | This stuff is what made me what i am now i did not even need it i used it 1 time and became so ill i could not even move my neck i was hospitalized in a mental hospital for psycosis over this stuff so many visits to a&e i felt so ill but now my life is worse since atypical anti psycotic use I went crazy from this stuff do not use it because it will kill your brain fast! | M | 24 | 1 days 50 | 10/2/2015 | 1 | Thinning hair | Update on my post of 6/12/2015 | Was still not functioning properly...some morning erections, but maybe 70% of normal. Re-tested for Prolactin and LH levels. LH was 0 Prolactin 4. Both too low. My Endo rx was gaba, glutamine, l-arginine, l-lysine. I have also read the soy / soy milk can increase prolactin levels. All of these have helped. Seem to be able to function now with the help of Viagra. Even Viagra did not help when hormone levels were down. Keeping my fingers crossed that I continue to improve. Good luck to any others suffering from this terrible drug. | M | 53 | 4 years 5% 2X day | 9/24/2015 | 1 | thinning hair | Diminished libido, less frequent/strong erections, sore scalp with no hair growth | I just assumed my diminished libido was a consequence of aging, though I am otherwise in outstanding physical condition. I never associated these symptoms with the use of the Rograine until I finally stopped using it, only because of it's ineffectiveness as a hair restorer. Within 2 DAYS! I noticed a marked improvement in my sexual desire and function. I have no doubt that minoxidil can cause serious sexual side effects, at least in some men. I also have no doubt that the drug companies knew this all along and should be held accountable. | M | 62 | 4 years 5% foam 1X day | 7/9/2015 | 1 | Thinning hair | Depression, generalized anxiety, mood swings, swollen/puffy eyes, black circles under eyes, dizzyness, tiredness, general fatigue | I was only on this product for a few days and began to experience all of those side effects listed above in that short amount of time. Besides those side effects, I also noticed that my brain felt foggy and that I was not functioning up to my intellectual ability. None of these side effects are listed on the package. Very scary stuff. I am going to discontinue use immediately. | M | 28 | 4 days 2x Day | 6/20/2015 | 1 | Thinning hair | Complete Impotence, Loss of Libido, Can not ejaculate on rare occasions I could get erect. | I started using 2% Liquid Rogaine 20 years ago when I was 33 years old. I was put on High Blood Pressure meds two years later. Coincidence? No ED problems until 4 years ago when I switched to 5% Foam. Never put two and two together. How dumb I am. I thought it was old age and started using Viagra which worked very well, so no big deal. Then, a year ago, Viagra and the others all stopped working. No explanation. Went to an Endo. Found my Total Testosterone was 225. The minimum is 300. I was 700 five years earlier. My Endo got my Total Test up to 1700 which is crazy high. I feel like superman, but still can get my dick up. This is killing me...Then, I saw this forum. I can't believe the Rogaine would do this. However, I quit the Rogaine 10 days ago (6/1/15)...I am now getting morning erections at 50% which is encouraging because I haven't had morning wood for over a year. I don't know if I am permanently damaged or not? I lost my wife over this a 6 months ago. If in fact Rogaine caused my ED, then the President of Pfizer should be castrated. I will do it myself...I am so pissed. I will post again to help any others.... if and when I get my dick back. | M | 53 | 4 years 5% 2X day | 6/12/2015 | 1 | To strengthen my hair | My sexual life was turned down by this medicine | dont even think about it. Dont use it | M | 32 | 3 months | 4/20/2015 | 1 | Balding | Side effects are very real and serious. Headache, heart rate way up, blood pressure up, anxiety, depression, weakness, red elbows | Please guys , the side effects are very real and serious. I went to my doctor multiple times, for different drugs to slow down my heart and blood pressure. I have not used this stuff since last November but I do get occasional headache, I still have red elbows (can't figure that out). I used be so healthy, eating and exercising. Slowly I am getting to 100% but no there. Still my concern is what is the normal time frame to have all these side effects cleared out of your system? | M | 41 | 45 days 2X day | 3/20/2015 | 1 | hair and facial hair growth | all the side affect i had are sexual: loss of libido, fewer morning erection, erectile dysfunction, can't maintain hard erection more than 1 mun as i used to. | i've never thought that these side effects could be related to rogaine. these side effect are similar and common to propecia sexual side affect and i have no idea for how long these effect last. i stopped for 2 months now, and still suffering from this. i took a blood pressure and testosterone test and everything seems normal. i'm 100% positive that Rogaine has caused me this because i'm healthy man and I've never experienced any health issues | M | 28 | 3 months 30 2X day | 3/6/2015 |
