| 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 | 1 | Dermatologist Recommended it. | my daughter notice that the top of here hair was Thinning out. We went to the Dermatologist, He put her on Men's extra Strength Rogaine. She started feeling very Anxious and pressure on her chest, like she couldn't Breathe Then she started with panic Attacks. she also felt like she was in a fog. I called the Dermatologist and he said it could not be from the Rogaine. My Daughter has been off of Rogaine for only 5 days and she is feeling much better. I think this is a Dangerous product. I am so happy that I found this site. My poor daughter was going out of her mind. | F | 22 | 5 weeks 60ml 2xday | 2/5/2013 | 1 | Erectile Dysfunction, stress. | I posted a month ago. My erectile dysfunction problems are completely gone. My sex drive is back and my stress is down. So as I posted earlier, took me 5 years to figure it out and spent a lot of $$$ , Not worth it | M | 49 | 5 years 1ml 2X day | 1/3/2013 | 1 | going bald | About 2 months ago I got severely dizzy when I arrived to work. From that day til now I haven't felt anywhere near normal. I have never been an anxious person now I am constantly worrying. I had muscle twitches, chest pain, difficult breathing, overall foggy feeling, haven't slept normal, low grade headache, lethargic, and no sex drive. I was driving myself crazy wondering what was wrong with me, I honestly thought I had caught some deathly illness. About a week ago after applying rogaine my head started burning and tingling and then my whole body was red and itching. This is when I stopped and thought, maybe all of these problems I have been experiencing are from rogaine. It was the last thing I thought of, I had stopped everything else I had been doing except for rogaine. I never even considered rogaine to be dangerous. If any of you have had any problems like this and have recovered please email me and let me know how long it took to get back to normal. This is awful living like thi | Health>hair | M | 21 | 10 months 5% foam 2X day | 12/10/2012 | 2 | Thinning Hair | Itching of Scalp, stress, erectile dysfunction | Started using Rogaine 5% foam over 5 years ago. Despite other comments, I found it easy to use, no scent and it did stop and even add hair to the back top of my head. The hairline, no, as advertised. I had noticed erectile problems shortly after starting to use. It really hit home when my wife and I went away on a Romantic trip. I mistakenly forgot my Rogaine. The best sex and sex drive I had had in years. It was only then that I really put two and two together. After years of use I discontinued over a month ago and my erectile problems and sex drive are slipping away. For a long time user the benefits were negligible, get a hair transplant if you can and in the long run it will be cheaper. Overall I would not recommend this product. Too many side effects and the cost/benefit nowhere near justifies it. Took me 5 years to figure it out.....Learn from others mistakes if you are reading this. | M | 49 | 5 years 5% Foam 2X day | 12/5/2012 | 1 | Baldness | Complete Impotence and devastating sexual side effects | PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ROGAINE IF YOU VALUE your sex life. I did not risk taking Propecia because I knew of the permanent sexual side effects that were possible. Had I know such effects were possible with Rogaine, i would have never touched the stuff. I am having so many problems with my girlfriend now. I am going to my doctor to try Viagra or something similar, I cannot go on like this. I will update in a month. | M | 20 | 30 days 5% 2X day | 8/24/2012 | 2 | Gradual loss of libido, ability to be aroused, weak erections | Update to my post on 10/31/2011. After being off the Rogaine for about 1 year, my sexuality was back to about 80%. Here is what got me back to 100 %: (1) I started trying ED drugs, first Viagra. The Viagra was of limited success but was still having issues getting aroused. Then I tried the 20mg Cialis. This had no affect on me whatsoever. I heard about the daily use Cialis, so I cut my pills in quarters and took one every other day. After about 1 week I can say that it is working. In fact, I believe that this is my miracle drug. This is the closest I've been to my old self sexually. (2) I believe it was also helpful to visit internet sex sites occasionally to get my juices flowing so to speak. One interesting result of all of this is that I used to masturbate with a lubricant but now this does not get me aroused. Now I do it without lubricant and it feels great! The main thing is to get off the Rogaine if you are having the sexual issues. And maybe Rogaine can still work with Cialis, but I am not going to take that chance. I lost my sexuality once, and I believe I was lucky to get it back. | M | 60 | 3 years 75% normal 2X day | 7/28/2012 | 5 | Hairloss | Some scalp dryness the first few months, but no more. My sex drive has, if anything increased a lot- but I'm not sure this is the rogaine. | Worked as it should for me- thick hair without any baldness. So I continue use to maintain that. | M | 42 | 5 years 1 mL 2X day | 7/16/2012 | 1 | Thinning on top. | 1 Day: slight headache, slight dizziness, rush of blood. Then 3rd Day: very horny/hyper. 1 week: Hair thickness improvement, no issues. 2 weeks: Not thinking about sex, never aroused during the day, difficulty maintaining erection, loss of pleasure during orgasum, not turned on while seeing sex. | Read this site before trying, was aware of problems, however considered safer option then Propecia. Tried for two weeks, and was elated to see results! However, end of the second week, I thought to myself, hey I haven't had an erection today? I haven't had a sexual fantasy... SO watched some pornography (beats calling the X) and could not become aroused without physical stimulation! Discontinuing use!!! will post again if problems are consistent. | M | 25 | 2 weeks recomended 2X day | 7/8/2012 |
