| 1 | re-grow hair | heart palpitations; panic attack (as a result of severe heart palp) | previously used for 1.5 yrs with good growth but occasional pain. finally stopped after heart palpitations were too much. tried again after 10 months without; i have been taking for 2 weeks. bad heart palpitation and panic attack. trouble sleeping. don't take rogaine. too dangerous. | M | 32 | 2 weeks 2X day | 6/8/2011 | 3 | itchy scalp, dandruff | slows hair loss.. | M | 52 | 8 years 3X day | 4/28/2011 | 2 | Dandruff, itchy scalp and heart palpitations. Discontinued use and all side effects went away after 2 weeks and havnt returned. No noticeable hair regrowth or thicker hair. Think dandruff made hair loss worse | M | 29 | 1 years 2X day | 4/26/2011 | 1 | Losing my hair | increased heart rate, stiffness in neck/choking sensation, anxiety, breakout on palm of right hand, chest pains (mainly on the right side and under armpit) | The product did work for me when it came to stopping my hairloss, however the side effects were not worth it. I haven't used rogaine in about a year, and I still have chest pains on the right side of my chest and sometimes under my armpit. | M | 25 | 6 months 1X day | 3/24/2011 | 3 | Thinning hair | Severe itching of scalp, loss of sex drive, weak erections | I noticed a news story that the drug Propecia, also used for hair loss, had sexual side effects. So I checked on Rogaine forums. Found out that many people taking Rogaine have this low libido sexual issue (although it's not listed as an official side effect). After using the product for a couple years I started having weak erections, difficult to reach orgasm. I am going to go off the Rogaine for a few weeks to see what happens. | M | 59 | 3 years 75% normal 2X day | 3/21/2011 | 1 | Hair loss | I took this medicin 8 years ago. After that period I have suffered from a very low libido. Won't go away. | M | 33 | 2 years ? 2X day | 3/6/2011 | 1 | For hair loss | After approx. 6 months- General penile malaise, itchiness, low blood pressure, slight darkening of hair color, localized weight gain around chest area. | I wouldn't recommend this medicine to anyone. Indifferent penis was by far the most debilitating effect. | M | 26 | 1X day | 2/25/2011 | 1 | to keep from going bald | Rapid heart rate, anxiety, restlessness, depression, had problems sleeping | Do Not Use Rogaine! This stuff really messed me up. I had rapid heart rate and I thought I was having a heart attack. My EKG was normal. I’m glad I found this website. I am a health person and didn’t know what was happening. The only change in my life was using rogaine foam. I think this product should be taken off the shelf! All the symptoms that I have listed are real. If anyone has gone through these side effects and would like to share how long it took for them to recover please email me. | M | 30 | 1X day | 2/19/2011 | 2 | Thinning Hair | Heart palpitations and panic attacks. | Ok, I'm really pissed about this. I finally got off my ass when my friends started joking about the thinning spot on the crown of my head and started using Rogaine every morning. After two weeks I started having strange chest pains. Then a couple of days ago I had a full on panic attack on a Saturday morning while I was at a coffee shop a couple blocks from my house. I thought I had just over caffeinated myself and stuck to chamomile for a few days. Then I had another milder panic attack yesterday and have been having these weird "zinging" feelings in my chest and side. Mind you I am not a health nut but the only other time I have felt like this was when I took Wellbutrin. I really don't want to go bald but I can't keep having these panic attacks, I feel like I'm going to die while it's happening and if it happens at work I don't know how I will manage to cope. I'm wondering if anyone else who had panic attack and/or heart palpitations got them with other medications as well? | M | 31 | 2 weeks 1 mg 1X day | 2/15/2011 | 1 | thinning hair | M | 44 | 5 mg 2X day | 2/4/2011 Patient History | 3 | Hair loss | Might be suffering from loss of sex drive | So, I've been using rogaine foam for about 3 days now and have actually seemed to have been working or maybe it isn't, but I guess I'm just trying to be hopeful. But the problem is that my girlfriend and I just had sex about 4 hours ago and I notice (so did she) that I was having trouble keeping an erection. Now I don't know if this is something caused by rogaine or not, but I just started using it and this is the first time I've ever had any problems in my sex life. I'm going to monitor it and see if what I think is happening really is or not. | M | 20 | 3 days 2X day | 1/9/2011 | 1 | rogaine extra strength foam | GREAT ANXIETY, chest/heartpains, increased resting heart rate, complete sleeplessness, headaches | Mother of God. Thankfully I stumbled on this forum while doing a google search for 'rogaine heart.' I thought I was slowly losing my mind. I've been applying the foam to my beard area (my scalp hair is fine) hoping to see a fuller effect on my facial hair. I apply twice daily and below the recommended 'half cap' dosage. The first few days, noticed no side effects. After about the 3rd day, I experienced a very severe headache. I never get headaches. About the 4th day in is when I started noticing my heartrate go through the roof. It is now my 7th day in and I have gotten a total of 5 hours of sleep the last 3 days. I'm discontinuing immediately. I thought I was hallucinating, but apparently I'm not alone. The level of anxiety and heart palpatations at night really made me feel like I was going to die. I would get a 'cramping' sensation in my heart region and have been on the verge of dialing 9-1-1. Only one week in...no more for me. I noticed a few new hairs in my beard, but my health far outweighs any new follicle growth. This is my honest account. I would highly recommend anyone who is planning on taking Rogaine to really think twice and monitor your health closely. I had no idea this topical foam could cause such things. | M | 30 | 1 weeks half a cap 2X day | 1/7/2011 | 5 | Bald | tits, loss of libido, and i think tallywhacker is shrinking. | Makes you gay (not that there's anything wrong with that | M | 47 | 3 months foam 2X day | 12/20/2010 | 4 | thinning hair | Dizzy after applying slight scalp flaking, heart felt like it was pounding outta my chest, low blood pressure, slight increase in blonde facial hair (nothing much to worry about) | been using for 4 months it stopped exessive shedding noticing some regrowth although my hair thinned out more in some areas giving it 12 months to work or not. | F | 21 | 4 months 1ml 1X day | 11/26/2010 | 1 | for thinning hari | I recomend you have your prolactin, LH, FSH, TESTOSTERONE, and TSH levels measured by a doctor. if you have any lab tests send those results to [email protected] the more people that share their story and labs the better we can treat the side effects and possibly sue rogaine for their life damaging product. | Email if you have had any side effects from use of rogaine. share your story and any doctor results or reports. | M | 27 | 3 months 5% 2X day | 10/26/2010 | 1 | why do you think | itchy scalp which led to scratching, which led to embarrasing dandruff; weird heart palputations; if you bought it, throw it out | M | 49 | 1 months 10MG 1X day | 10/4/2010 | 4 | It made my scalp itch, every once in a while I would get a bump kind of like a bug bite from the irritation. It definitely thickened the hair on the crown area of my head as advertised. Kind of annoying having to put it on twice a day every day, because you feel like your scalp always has the medicine on it. | M | 29 | 4 months 1 mL 2X day | 9/10/2010 | 1 | Hair Loss | Makes your head itch like crazy. | Does nothing to regrow hair. | M | 41 | 6 months 2X day | 9/9/2010 | 1 | hair thinning | within one month, I experienced loss of sex drive and now two months later, i'm suffering from deprssion. | M | 31 | 20 days 1mg 2X day | 9/7/2010 | 3 | Thinning Hair | Low blood pressure & heart palpitations | I'd like to warn off any women who, like me, turned to this drug when the women's strength didn't work. This product worked great for producing more & thicker hair, but the side effects weren't worth it. The drug was originally taken orally for high blood pressure and unfortunately it lowered my blood pressure even though I put it on my scalp. I had trouble climbing stairs without my heart pounding! I quit when I got the flu and the nurse was shocked when she saw how dangerously low my blood pressure was. If I ever get high blood pressure, I'm using it again. | F | 43 | 1 years 1X day | 8/17/2010 |
