| 1 | Hair loss | Erectile Dysfunction, Complete Loss of Libido | How is this thing even Legal? I did read the official pamphlet and did a research on medical websites, and none of them mentioned anything about ED or loss of libido. After stopping, It took me 3 weeks to start noticing an improvement, a month before I recovered 80%, and now after almost 2 months I am ~90%.... Drug companies are ruining people's lives for some money. During this time I'm consuming african fruits, cocktail, royal jelly (once or twice a week). I don't think I will get back 100% to where I was, but 90% is not bad. | M | 25 | 3 months 6-7 sprays 2X day | 12/28/2020 | 2 | Thin Hair | Loss of sex drive, Brain fog / nervousness. Weird symptoms at night such as light sleep and intense / weird dreams which seemed constant. I learned to wait several hours before I went to bed or would get these weird sleep symptoms. | Very little hair growth.. The hair that grew was thin and didn't match my other hair | M | 45 | 110 days 5% 2X day | 12/27/2020 | 1 | Hair loss | Loss of libido. Soft erection. | Took a few weeks of use until it hit my sex drive. Seems mostly affectcs men with high baseline sex drive based on the comments here. Soft erection with loss of ability to induce erection mentally. I stopped it at 30 days then started every vitamin and supplement out there for men. Also forced ejaculation at least 2 times per day. This was almost impossible given the soft erection and self doubt and anxiety that follows but u have to keep at it. Slowly things improve and confidence returns. Took a week to get back to normal. | M | 44 | 30 days Foam 2X day | 12/12/2020 | 1 | Thinning Hair at Crown | horrible anxiety, on the verge of panic, headache, loss of sex drive, felt very cold all day, nausea, headache, fatigue/lethargy, mood swings | I thought I was crazy because I was feeling side effects that no one talked about or were listed, but then I found this site and see others experiencing the same thing. Rogaine is BAD for some people. Obviously some don't experience anything, but all of these symptoms people on here are feeling aren't even mentioned in most of the literature about Minoxidil. BUT THEY'RE REAL! I think it dropped my blood pressure because of the feeling cold and headache. The anxiety was so bad and I started getting emotional while watching a random video. Felt nausea near the end of the day and had ZERO desire for anything sexual. Also lost most of my appetite. Even though I only used a small amount ONCE, I felt the after effects for a couple of days. I hope they're over now. Be careful with this stuff. I was going to try it again, but after reading everyone's accounts here there's no way I'm touching this stuff again. | M | 36 | 1 days half cap 1X day | 12/10/2020 | 1 | Hair Loss | Near total loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. | I want to report my experience with this because I see so many other men going though the same situation that I had with this poison. I put a small amount of this stuff on my scalp twice a day for about 5 months, and it almost completely killed my previously unquenchable sex drive for about 2 years. The first time I took it was in July 2016 and continued taking it until November 2016. After stopping progress was slow, but I remember around December of 2018 is when I really started to feel like I did before taking Rogaine. Am I back to 100 percent? I don't completely know, but if I don't have discipline I will masterbate several times a day, whereas before I could go several days without thinking about the opposite sex in any carnal way. So, that's my experience. Roughly two years. I am genuinely curious which body system this toxin targeted and how enough of the liquid could have soaked in through my scalp and into my bloodstream to affect me in such a way and for such a long time. Isn't it crazy that loss of libido isn't listed as one of the side effects of Rogaine, even though so many men report it. And it's not just older guys blaming their ED on Rogaine either. I've seen numerous posts by young men like myself who exercise multiple times a day and have a good diet, yet have been almost completely chemically castrated by Rogaine. | M | 26 | 5 months 2X day | 12/9/2020 | 1 | Hairloss | Loss of libido, sexual drive, loss of penis sensitivity and weak erection | Been using 5pct generic rogaine called regro. After applying fr about 2 weeks twice daily i started to notice very weak erection to the point that i cannot get it up to have sex with my wife. For info i m a very healthy 50yr old man with with athletic built. No heart, high blood pressure or diabetic problem and never had any problem with erection. It has been about 3 months and i hv not seen any much improvement. Urologist prescribed Cialis which works to certain extent but erection quality is still not good. Tried increasing the dosage to 15mg but still erection is like 80pct and w penis not being sensitive enough sex was not satisfactory. Can still masturbate n ejaculate but time taken wld b very long because penis is less sensitive. Testos lvl last mnth was 19 nmol/L but recently dropped to 13. Urologist plans to put me on TRT and i am also going to see an Endocrinologist soon. Hope will slowly recover soon. | M | 49 | 14 days 5pct 2X day | 11/13/2020 | 1 | thinning hair | loss of libido no pleasure in orgasm soft erection | i wish i had not taken this drug. finasteride gave me side effects but i recovered with minox its been 3wks and no change. i used to watch prn everyday but now im afraid because its difficult to have an erection. my only hope is my libido would return. | M | 40 | 1 months 5% 1X day | 10/27/2020 | 1 | Thicken hair and beard | Erectile dysfunction, low libido, watery semen, pain in testicles, loss of sensitivity | I wrote here complaining of side effects about 5 or 6 months ago, and I am glad to say that I am about 50% better and feel as if I have meaningfully recovered, My semen quality and sensitivity have went back to normal, my libido has improved a lot, pain is gone, ED is one and off but a bit better. Things aren't the same as they were before and I have some time to go before I reach 100% (if I ever do, hopefully I will). But yeah, I am writing here to say that while these side effects may be long lasting, it is possible to get better and experience a meaningful recovery, and perhaps even possible to experience a full recovery - but I'm still waiting for that myself. | M | 22 | 7 days 2.5 2X day | 10/22/2020 | 1 | Hair loss | I would like to add the link to the WhatsApp group that I commented before: https://chat.whatsapp.com/CKn1To7MXSLKbOnSoEnMII | Other will help you and you will help others. | M | 24 | 4 years 2 2X day | 10/20/2020 | 1 | Hair loss | Hi , I already wrote a review two months ago, it has been a year and six months since I left Minoxidil. I want to make a WhatsApp or Telegram group for those of us who have been with the disease for more than 5 months to share tips to increase libido, combat other symptoms, any other type of advice, analysis results to share or useful opinions of doctors | I will give you my number phone by e-mail, just text me. | M | 23 | 2 years 2 per day 2X day | 10/17/2020 | 1 | Hair loss | - Panic attacks of anxiety during public speaking (never happened before) - Erections 75% of what they used to be - Low sex drive - Weak ejaculations - Face looked worn | If a doctor tells you there are no side effects with this drug they are either lying or ignorant. Merck has a big incentive to make us sound crazy. Be aware of the risks. | M | 27 | 2 years 5% topical 2X day | 10/9/2020 | 1 | To thicken beard hair and eyebrows | There is not enough space to list them in full but while I was taking the drug I experienced racing heart beat, lightheadedness, nausea, constipation and changes to my skin including puffy face and abdomen, dark circles on my eyes, skin became softer and more pliable, swollen pores, delayed wound healing, increased wrinkles and much more. While the irregular heartbeat went away after ceasing Minoxidil, the skin problems remained. Shortly after stopping Minoxidil I also developed muscle spasms, weakness especially trouble swallowing and erectile dysfunction. This was four years ago and I still have these side effects (skin and muscle problems) today. I am finally seeing a doctor to investigate potential damage to collagen and connective tissue, something Minoxidil has been shown to affect in studies. | I wish I had never taken this drug. It completely wrecked my complexion (I experienced severe 'facial aging' and worse) and appears to have damaged my muscles too. Please think very carefully before trying Rogaine yourself. A slightly thicker head of hair or beard is not worth the risk of these side effects, which are not properly advertised on the packaging and can be life-ruining. | M | 24 | 26 days 5% 4x a da 4X day | 10/7/2020 | 1 | Hair fall prescribed by dermatologist | Eye redness from 2nd day of using , 14 day I feel low libido and ed | Ed and low libido horrible my life,early I get erection by thinking/watching of sex now totally gone. I underwent blood test it's been normal. I have experienced lost of hope on life,mood swing ,suicide thought ,heart palpitation,low semen.by taking medicine help for erection but that too not satisfaction level and not correct way for cure. Any body know the medicine to overcome this pls suggest me I'm really worried | M | 29 | 14 days 1ml 1X day | 9/23/2020 | 1 | Hairloss | Applying once a day for two months. Something started to feel so OFF but I couldn't figure out what it was. Never thought it would be something like a topical application. At first I thought it was something like a vitamin D deficiency. Side effects were so gradual I didn't even recognise them until it was too late. Complete loss of libido, sex drive, elections, morning wood, watery semen. Dry skin, inflamed eyes. Weak. Tired. Scariest one was my vision. Had a huge black dot in my vision (like after you stare at the sun) that wouldn't go away. I stopped applying it straight away once it clicked what it was. After a weak my skin, vision, eyes have all returned to normal (I look normal now at least) but my sex drive is completely stuffed. One week later and no improvement (maybe that my dick isn't "numb" anymore). I had a similar issue with finasteride and sexual function, however after a week I was pretty much back to normal. No idea what's happened this time but im really scared that I've done damage for good this time. | DO NOT USE THIS POISON. Jesus I thought I thought i was dying or something was seriously wrong. No improvement on libido. If you have any helpful information PLEASE email me!!! | M | 27 | 64 days %5 1X day | 9/11/2020 | 1 | Topical head | Testicular pain | I took it for 2 two months and I had testicular pain it's weird and now I stopped for about two weeks it did improve for like 3 days then it came back again The Urologist told me there's nothing serious it's blue balls even though I jerk off regularly but I guess there's something wrong with semen count I really really lost hope I'm having a bad anxiety from this pain please help how long would this take to get back to normal PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY HELPFUL INFORMATION | M | 23 | 62 days 1 Mg 1X day | 9/8/2020 | 1 | libido loss | LOW LIBIDO, ED. | I know a lot of people were having trouble with ed and libido problems after using rogaine or minoxidil. I suffered for 1.5 years before finding a solution. I went to a sex shrink, used supplements, no fap, etc. It was awful. This past weekend I had sex 6 times with my gf. All thanks to TRT. I've been doing it for 4 months now and the changes are incredible. Hang in there buddies, It does get better. | M | 24 | 1 years 50mg 2X day | 8/31/2020 | 1 | Beard growth | Loss of libido, loss of erection, loss of aggression and motivation | Creating a comment to help the rest of these men on how I fought this. I took a supplement stack consisting of DHEA 50mg, vitamin k2 Mk-7 150 mcg, vitamin D3 5000iu, and TESTOLYZE by species evolutionary nutrition (most important) the testolyze helps the body regulate estrogen and DHT. Which is what we need because rogaine is a DHT blocker. This helped me tremendously regulate my hormones and get my sex drive back. I'm no longer shooting pool with a piece of rope. I hope this helps the rest of you | M | 28 | 60 days 50mg 2X day | 8/18/2020 | 1 | To grow hair | Debilitating chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpations, inability to exercise, wheezing and chest pain if mildly exert self, headaches, and a floater in one eye STILL EXPERIENCE MOST OF THESE 2 YEARS AFTER QUITTING | I used rogaine briefly. I was a bodybuilder and college level runner. I used minoxidil briefly and stopped due to chest pain and inability to exercise. It has now been two years since I quit and I still cannot exercise and have chest pain, headaches, and heart palpitations. I've seen 4 different cardiologists and so far none can find anything wrong except for a right to left shunt. If anyone has had a similar experience or can offer any advice please email me at I am ready to return to not being afraid that today will be the day my heart is going to give out | M | 21 | 20 days 5% 2X day | 8/18/2020 | 1 | Hair loss | Weak erections and anxiety during the duration of use. Stopped a couple of months ago and the anxiety is gone and partial improvement in ED. | M | 28 | 3 months 5% 2X day | 8/16/2020 | 2 | Alopecia | ED, loss of libido, dizziness | I used minox for about 2 months and got ED, loss of libido that lasted a few weeks. After that everything was ok but from time to time I have weaker erections that never happened before. It may be just a coincidence as I questioned another people and they had no problems like these. If you can help me with some tips of how to solve this situation i would gladly appreciate. I have to say that I kinda overused the product, i applied 1.5x instead of 1x for one month. But regarding hairgrowth...I can say it works pretty well, but dont use it, too many side effects. | M | 25 | 60 days 5% 1X day | 8/6/2020 |
