| 5 | Beard | Amazing | 20 | 70 days 2X day | 8/19/2022 | 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 1ml 2X day | 7/16/2022 | 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 mg 2X day | 6/5/2022 | 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 1X day | 5/27/2022 | 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 1 cap 2X day | 5/26/2022 | 1 | Male pattern baldness | I used this thing for 3 days only. I got mildly painful pulsing sensations in my left ear immidiately. Insomnia and headache on the second day. Third and final day. Irregular heartbeat, increased heart rate, palpitations,bloating, minor migraines and headaches and minor chest pain and chest heaviness. Tingling feeling all round. I was not even taking a full 1ml dose i was taking half at most. I would give it a minus 5 | I am intermittent fasting, avoiding sugar and salts. Drinking lemon tea and water. 30 min walks cause i dont want to be too drastic at the beginning. I want to ease into heavy exercise later. Any advice could help. Lifestyle and diet wise | M | 22 | 3 days 0.5ml 5X W | 4/10/2022 | 1 | Hair | Depression, Zero Erection, Zero Morning woods, Zero Libido, Watery semen | This is a pure poison. From a guy, who was horny all the time I went to Zero Libido. I don't think anymore for sex. DON'T RISK, MINOXIDIL IS DANGEROUS...... | M | 27 | 1 months 25 1X day | 4/7/2022 | 1 | Beard grow | 0 Libido, 0 erection, my sperm was just like a water, dizziness, lack of motivation, insomnia. | I used to use Minoxidil in 2018 for only 1 week. I'm a healthy guy, who is training weight-lifting 5 times a week and my Libido was extremely high. After Minoxidil my Libido went to 0 and my erection went from 100 to 10. 3 years later my Libido is above 30%, my erection recover to 80%. I don't have watery semen, it seems more thick. I don't think, that I will recover to 100%. My advice is to never use this POISON !!!! | M | 32 | 7 days 2X day | 2/18/2022 | 1 | Hair loss | Loss of libido, fatigue, watery semen, difficulty maintaining erections, dizziness, irregular heart beat, hypotension | Here is a list of what I did. Maybe it was time that healed me or maybe these things played a part. I dont know. NUTRITION : Fruits: bananas, avocados, and kiwis (1 or 2 per day) Nuts: almonds (1or 2 servings per day) 1-2 cloves of garlic per day Vegetables: kale, broccoli, jalapeños, asparagus, black beans Meats: lean beef/steak, pork steak, chicken thighs or breasts, salmon, shrimp, hard boiled eggs and *one serving of smoked oysters per day* Maintain hydration daily SUPPLEMENTS: Kroger one daily mens health multivitamin Natures Bounty Super B complex Natures Bounty biotin 10,000mcg 5000-10000iu vitamin D3 1000mg of Vitamin C (emergen-C) 450mg Ashwagandha (Goli) LIFESTYLE: Avoid alcohol, marijuana and cigarette smoking, and drugs 8-10 hrs of sleep per night if possible Caffeine is okay Vigorous exercise 6 days a week 3 days of weights 3 days of cardio, plyometrics, or yoga Rest on 7th day. 3 weeks on, 1 week off (rest week) Exercise should be vigorous, increase your heart rate and break a sweat TIME: Improvement should be slowly noticeable with full recovery in 6-12 months I was 100% in about 8 months | M | 32 | 21 days 5% 2X day | 2/15/2022 | 1 | Hair growth | Palpitations, Tingling hands and feet, Anxiety/Panic Attacks | Used for 7 weeks with dermaroller once a week. After week 5 started feeling some palpitations or heart skips at night. On week 7 got an anxiety attack. Never had one before. I'm healthy, play tennis and exercise regularly. Went to the hospital as I didn't know what was going on. EKG, and blood tests all good. Pressure was a bit elevated but came down after I calmed down. I felt okish for a week and then another anxiety attack, did some more blood tests checking glucose and other levels, all good. Doctor said clinically I'm very good. At first I didn't make the connection to Minoxidil so I didn't get his opinion on it, but after realized that was the only variable and saw the side effects and all the posts in this site and others. Stopped immediately. Been 6 weeks and still have anxiety coming and going and a few more intense panic attacks. Like any small worry or stress triggers it. This is slowly getting out of my system and maybe it's some kind of withdrawal symptoms. Hope they go away soon. | M | 47 | 7 weeks 1 ml 1X day | 2/2/2022 | 1 | Hair loss | Stay away from this drug!! Gave me heart palpitations couldnt sleep, erectile dysfunction, restlessness, And lack of motivation. It is honestly poison! My erections suffered for month after quitting and i only used For 5 months once a day not the twice daily recommendation. If anyone else is going through what I did with side effects I highly recommend l-citrulline 3-6g, pyconogenal which are both nitric oxide boosters, I wake up every morning with an erection and have better workout and more energy and way firmer erections. Rogaine increases prolactin which can also effect libido greatly try p-5-p to reduce prolactin for about a month then get on l-citrulline 3-6g, zinc 50 mg, pycnogenol 100-200mg, and maca 500mg, your libido and erections will come back. This mix will also help anyone suffering for side effects of finasteride or post finasteride syndrome. Thought i was going to be messed up for life but this literally saved me! | M | 33 | 5 months 5 percent 1X day | 1/23/2022 | 1 | I was taking 5% for facial hair | I started Rogaine Dec29 2021 since then I experienced blurred vision, constant migraines, and dark circles around my eyes. Currently noticing Ed along with what it seems like Peyronie Symptom (a curved penis). **This is poison* I'll update hopefully with good news of full recovery | M | 49 | 21 days 2X day | 1/22/2022 | 1 | Hairloss | Join telegram support group https://t.me/+UIXErhLS-IlOnH_p Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/MinoxidilSideEffects/ | If you suffer from side effects please join our group. | M | 20 | 10 days 1 1X day | 12/22/2021 | 1 | Hair loss | Used the extra strength foam for 1 month. Within that month noticed my erections get softer and my morning erections ceased. I also began feeling off, and anxious. - It has been ten years now, since I used this product (I was 33 at the time). I am usually able to get hard enough for sex and sometimes have morning erections, but I did not make a full recovery of sexual potential. Overall erections are usually weaker and do not last as long. - I understand there have been studies (btw, who funded these studies and who facilitated them?) that conclude monoxidil does not effect hormones, but after overwhelming testimony it is worth researching how else it may be effecting sexual functioning in males due to overwhelming anecdotal evidence. - In my opinion this stuff should be pulled from shelves and is not safe for human use. | How is this stuff still available otc? | M | 43 | 1 months 2X day | 12/12/2021 | 1 | Vertex hair loss | Bloated face. Dark circles around eyes. Fatigue. Sudden appearance of wrinkles. Erectile dysfunction. | This stuff is dangerous. If you think it will make you look better, trust me - you will look WORSE by far overall, even if you gain a little hair. Get a buzzcut or shave your head. SAVE YOUR HEALTH. Avoid this like the plague. | M | 51 | 5 months 2X day | 11/29/2021 | 1 | Beard | Heartbeat increase, racing heart especially while trying to sleep, extreme headache it left like I was dying, facial fat loss sunken in cheeks, skin aging, saggy skin and dull looking skin. People think I am sick or lost extreme amounts of weight (which is not true). My heart still isn't normal, when cycling I feel a numb feeling in the left side in my chest, it's been 6 months since I stopped using it. Possible permanent heart damage? Possible permanent skin damage. If only I could go back in time. | This stuff is poison. Never use it no matter what, it is not worth it. Avoid it! | M | 32 | 7 weeks 1X day | 9/15/2021 | 1 | hair loss | anybody tried to sue pharmaceutical company for the lack of warnings about side effects or doctors for prescriptions? | example of lawsuit for finasteride prescription casetext.com/case/weitz-v-merck-co?q=minoxidil | M | 30 | 1X day | 8/25/2021 | 1 | Beard | How can i know libido loss and heart pounding, heart palpitations after 2 days of using isnt permanent? I aplied it just 4x, 2 months ago,and still have it | M | 23 | 4 times 2X day | 8/12/2021 | 5 | Beard | Hi all, 2 months ago a applied minoxidil on my beard, i applied it just 4x(2days) and i stopped right away when i saw the side effects. Now 2 months since i have heart palpitations and loss of morning woods. Im wondering how is thiss possible. Im aifrad i damaged my heart and ed pernamently. Help, answer!! | M | 23 | 0 times 4X day | 8/10/2021 | 1 | Hair loss | I see alot of people talking about this one and how its affected them (topical minoxidil). Ive had 2 episodes now where this medication has caused me to feel like im sick as a dog for a while. Im gonna list off somethings, irritability, rapid heart rate from low exertion, different uncomfortable sensations all over the body, feeling as tho my body is exhibiting poor blood circulation, many different things. Im here to tell you that if you discontinue this medication the side effects will go away, and you will feel like yourself in just a few weeks but not over night. Especially for the young guys on here if your in your 20s, ive been to the doctors multiple times and had all types of tests, all of them came out normal and fine, you are going to be absolutely fine, just discontinue the medication and be a little extra healthy to help you get through it even quicker. Also most people with the side effects i spoke about were taking too much of it and had no clue, you basically poisoned yourself thats when the side effects are at full effect. Again stop taking the medication and detox for a few weeks | Fellas get a hair transplant!! Its 2021 we have incredible results on these things. Put $20 away every day for 4 months and you can pay for it in no time, anyone need to talk about side effects or symptoms im going to put my email below | M | 22 | 4 months 1.5 ml 2X day | 6/22/2021 |
