 4  To combat hair loss Slight headache, chest pains sometimes even though I cant tell for certain if it is due to this I think its a great medication. However I would advise to try and take it early in hair loss as well as not having too high expectations M 26 10 months

 1  Hair loss Ed, no sex drive, cant maintain erection , back pain, peeing more frequently, I actually used finasteride for around 3 years but its been 2 years since i came off it and thought id try regain foam instead. I had to issues at all for 3 years whilst using finasteride but stopped because i didn't want to take it all my life. After being off finasteride for 2 years i decided to use regain foam for hair loss. When i first started regain i didn't notice and side effects but about 3 weeks later i couldn't get erect and i straight away phoned the GP and got my blood tests done. Once the blood tests came back everything was normal apart from very slight cholesterol, so i waited 2 more weeks hoping things will be ok, but i was wrong and the problem was still there. I had no idea what was causing these issues and then i realised only thing I've changed in 5 weeks was just applying this foam. After reading reviews online i realised that there are many people who have the same problem i have because of regain so i stopped using it immediately. I was very scared after reading reviews saying the side effects may never go and i would have to live like this. This really worried be for the next few days because i did not want these side effects to linger on in my life, so the first few days of stopping were the worst!!! i would suddenly snap and was very fidgety and anxiety started to creep in. 7 days after stopping the foam i started to feel slightly better and my mood was improving, 2 weeks later i was feeling a lot better and started to get my libido back M 28

History
 2  Hair thinning So the good: This stuff did somewhat stop my hair loss. It basically freezes time on your hair, you arent likely to grow much back but you will keep what you have. The bad: Ive used this stuff on and off for years and the main thing I noticed is that this stuff will reduce libido and weaken erections to maybe 50 to 75% of what they would be without the stuff. I think it may also cause headaches on and off around your temples. The good news is that after a few weeks of non use the erections seem to improve but I guess I will never know if they are what they wouldve been if i never used the stuff M 31 4 years

 1  Hair Loss It has been over 6 years since I’ve stopped taking rogaine, and the horrible effects are still with me. Throughout that entire time I have been in exceptional physical shape, but erectile dysfunction has played a role in close to every sexual encounter I’ve ever had since. If I masterbate one time, the erections I get for the rest of the day will be pretty soft. The first erection I get in the day will usually be hard, but after a minute or two it’ll typically become too soft for sex (or at least initial penetration). This means that sex has to be carefully timed so that I penetrate very soon after getting an erection or else I’ll become too soft and once that happens it’s almost always impossible to recover. This plus adding a condom makes sex an onerous choreographed chore, and if it doesn’t work out then it’s really embarrassing. ED has cost me a multiple relationships, and overall has just ruined the spontaneity and enjoyment of sex. Whenever I am planning on going out with a woman I have to make sure not to masterbate for at least 24 hours before just in case it leads to sex, and instead of just enjoying the process I think of all this. Also, women typically won’t tell you that they want to have sex on Wednesday March 8th at 11:00. They want to just be embrace the moment and see what happens - reasonable of course, but it makes things so frustrating for me because I have to get all this timing right. Continued: Like everybody else here, before taking rogaine I had morning wood almost every day and strong sexual thoughts. Pretty soon after taking rogaine all of that went away. I kept taking it (3-4 months) because I didn’t understand how this lotion could cause this stuff. I still don’t understand what physiological mechanism could possibly underly such devastating and persistent symptoms. Minoxidil relaxes blood vessels and I believe was originally used to lower blood pressure. I have no idea how it could cause persistent ED, but I and everyone else on here have experienced it first hand. In the 6 and a half years since I have stopped taking this poison, I may have recovered a little bit - but not that much. Like I said before, I used to have morning wood and strong sexual thoughts almost every day. For a year or two after I stopped taking rogaine, it was like I was neutered. I could go almost a week with no sexual thoughts, erections, or urges to masterbate. Now if I eat perfectly healthy and don’t masterbate for multiple days then I might sometimes wake up with partial morning wood, and have better erections. Still pretty lousy compared to what I used to get, and recovering a lost erection is almost impossible. Final note: This is personal stuff. I gave a lot of gory details with a very intimate part of my life, which I don't typically like doing, but it's a serious issue. Apparently many other men have the same issue. I wish I had an e M 28 4 months

 1  hair loss While using I did not attribute my loss of erections and loss of libido to this terrible drug since this was not listed anywhere on the side effects. The real nightmare started after I stopped using this poison. It has been 15 months and I have not had morning wood, nocturnal erections, spontaneous erections and I have a nonexistent libido. I used to be very sexually charged and perform 5x a day a now I have weak erections that are tough to get and my penis is in pain after having sex once in the day and that too with lousy erections that I can barely maintain. I have pain in my penis and prominent veins that were never there before. I have penile shrinkage and the skin is all wrinkled and shriveled. I am considering ending it all since this has taken a huge toll on my health and hence my mental health as well....No point in living without being able to feel love, being in a relationship, having human primal desires, and ball aches all the time...

 1  Hair Thinning I experienced ED, difficulty maintaining an erection and loss of libido, heart palpitations, increased blood pressure, fast weight gain and depression. Side effects started 2yrs ago and sense then, I have seen some recovery. Still not 100% and I have been taking sea moss to increase libido. Erections are now 80% and can be maintained. Will get to 100% during sexual activity. Please never take this poison if you can avoid it! The benefits are TEMPORARY but the side effects are either permanent or long lasting. I'm still 2yrs from recovering so I'm not sure if I'll ever get back to normal M 32 1 months

 1  Beard ED, , impotence, penile shrinkage. No morning wood. Was on it for 6 months. At month 4 my sex drive decreased drastically. I went from going two times a day to barely once a month. It was really hard to get and maintain an erection while on minoxidil. After a month of quitting, I still had ED. I tried Blue Chew (Sidenfil) and it did not work. Girth and length was decreased and no vienes were visible like it once was prior to minox. Scared my thing would fall off from no feeling and blood flow I took actions into my own hands by researching supplements. I started to take (one a day) multivitamin, 1500MG L-Citrine, 1000MG L-Arginine, and 1 Table Spoon of Organic Beet Root powder, I felt better and my erections were back in two weeks. I regained my natural size and feeling and morning wood. I took the pills everyday and mixed the table spoon of beet root powder into orange juice every single night without fail. Even though my drive is back, I still do this everyday for maintenance. This method did not work over night. Make sure your multivitamin contain b6. M 26 6 months

 1  Balding Loss of libido, erectile dysfunction I've used this stuff for way too long and I've been careless with it. And now I'm paying. 2 and a half year later I still haven't recovered. My genitals are numb, my erections weak, can't keep it up even with constant stimulation. Sex is unthinkable for me. My blood values appear to be alright. I'm going to another urologist next week and I will explain everything. I'll try to get an appointment at an endocrinologist too. I have very little hope to get this sorted at this point. I'm afraid my life is ruined for good. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk about it, I'm not speaking with anybody about it and I'm afraid I will go crazy. M 38 1.5 years

 1  beard growth loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, loss of morning erections, heart palpitations, arrhythmia, loss of strength, constant fatigue, apathy, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep problems, depression, suicidal thoughts I started using minoxidil when I was 18. I would be a confident and optimistic guy, my health was totally ok. During the application, I experienced all these terrible side effects. It's been a year and a half since I quit, mostly sexual problems remain. My libido is about 30 % as before. During sex, it is difficult to achieve and maintain an erection, it requires a lot of concentration and without physical stimulation, the erection disappears. Erections are abot 70 % if the best happened. I eat well, sleep well and exercise. I've tried various supplements, but nothing really helped. This drug really ruined my life. If you know of products that really work, please email me. Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia. I wish you luck and fast recovery, guys M 20 6 months

 1   penile numbness, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction Don't take this stuff unless you would be ok with sacrificing your sex life for more hair. My penis shrunk and went numb, I only used for 10 days and I've been off for that long without improvement. I used less than the reccomended topical dosage of 0.75 ml of 5% minoxidil. This stuff really is poison and should not be available to the public. M 22 10 days

 1  Hairloss Head rush, chest pain, erectile dysfunction Chest pain started after using for years. I slowed down use and this went away. For some reason I always attributed the erectile dysfunction to the pill I took for hairloss. After stopping minoxidil for a few days the drive is back. After a week I'm basically back to normal. Like others said it's not worth having hair if your penis isn't working. Plus less anxiety now. I'm more relaxed without using. This stuff sucks. M 33 9 years

I'm a healthy guy, who is training weight-lifting 5 times a week and my Libido was extremely high.
