Thank god I was allergic as fuck to this shit when I took it

I only did for a month and my face + ankles were swollen as fuck. My heart beat way too crazy fast so I just dropped it pronto.

Also if you guys have low libido due to minox, try taking zinc, that shit has seriously made me fap at least 3 times in one session. Like, I can't even go soft until I jerk it three times and honestly it's becoming a pain. Every time I wake up, I'm hard as fuck.

>>35072422
I took it for three weeks and my balls have been like grapes for the last four months. Thanks for the recommendation though breh, I'll give zinc a shot

>>35072422
Also, how much zinc are you taking? Did you experience any sexual side effects when you were taking minox?

>>35072494

np anon

>>35072507

50mg of zinc a day which is like 1 pill

I didn't have sex during the time I took minox, but I don't think it affected me at all in the sexual aspect. It's probably due to me taking it only for one month.

>>35072494

also, I read the link OP posted and most got back their sexual libido after quitting minox

>>35072687
I dunno dude, I'm seeing one guy reporting "80%" of function back after a year of using supps and Cialis, and another guy saying he was back to normal after a month and a half. On the other hand you've got people like this poor fucker:

>I put this Rogaine foam on my head for 5 days and my sex life has never been the same again. that was 2 years ago. IT WAS ONE OF THE WORST MISTAKES OF MY LIFE. I was putting on Retin A for zits also. I don't know if that affected but I only used for 5 DAYS and I'm ruined. I went from a happy, horny guy who was thinning, to a guy feels like he's been castrated.

>>35072728
oh shit
> took this medicin 8 years ago. After that period I have suffered from a very low libido. Won't go away
Jesus Christ I hope this doesn't persist for eight years, what a nightmare

yeah, it's different for us all.

But my current supplement schedule is l-arginine and zinc. It works really well for me and I rarely do any working out or cardio. It'll cost roughly like 20 something bucks for a months worth of supplies so at least try it out instead of giving up hope.

Also unrelated, but I take biotin and MSM for my hair and it has seriously dropped my hair loss by like 70-80%. Something to consider if you're still looking to stop balding. I haven't seen any hair gains other than my facial hair get thicker

pic related, me, and yes I'm Asian so it shows how MSM has bumped up my facial hair

>>35072796
Us? Are you also suffering these sort of side effects from minox? Would be interested in hearing your story.

But I wasn't even balding when I started taking minox - I was shedding slightly more than usual and wanted to bump up my facial hair growth a notch. My hair is pretty thick and I think I'm going to give it some time before I start checking out this kind of stuff again. Although I will definitely pick up some libido-enhancing supps and see if they do any good.

just knowing how minox fucks up your face and vastly advances the appearance of wrinkles turned me off before ever wanting to start it.

>>35072837

I had been losing a lot of hair since I was like 18. Read online on a beard forum that minox helps hairloss big time with great results. Tried for a month (between august and september of this year) and my side effects were bloated knees, face and ankles and a really high heartbeat.

I have not suffered any side effects after quitting minox. Maybe I am a lucky guy so don't judge your view of minox on mine since there are legit hundreds of complaints online about this. Personally I would not recommend to anyone at all and >>35072848 is right too.

>>35072887
>my side effects were bloated knees, face and ankles and a really high heartbeat.
It's weird, I've read a lot of reviews with people complaining about their libido being murdered and a lot that complain about what you experienced, but I've never read one that complained about experiencing both.

I've also read that minox can make your androgen receptors less receptive. Does anyone know of a way to make them more receptive? Will zinc or l-arganine do this?

>>35072919
Update: I found http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4039155/ which seems to support this idea, but I really have no idea how to interpret these words. If one of our more scientifically-minding guys could give me an idea of what this is saying I'd be very appreciative.

>used to have Alan Thrall style wild viking hair, loved it
>notice it's starting to get noticeably thinner
W E L P
Guess I'll keep it until it's thin enough to be shameful, then shave it all off and hope i have good skull genetics.

>>35072919

I never experienced sexual libido loss. However, hearing about it made me really self aware but I realized that my zinc + l-arginine routine has absolutely boosted my sexual libido to the sky. I can literally jerk off 5 times nonstop nowadays if I want to.

>>35072956
That's awesome, thanks for giving me some hope. How much do you usually take?

>>35072972

zinc - 50 mg
l-arginine after every meal 1g

Don't go over 50mg on zinc, though, I heard 100+ can hurt you later on.

>>35072988
Alright man, sounds good. I'll give it a shot
>>35073045
t-thanks

Been taking this poison for a year and now I've figured out why I can't maintain an erection. I was using Kirkland's extra strength minox. Have patients reported how long to get back to normal?

>side effects
>ptsd

kek who takes these retarded reviews seriously?

>>35073288
It looks like it varies wildly, from the guy that had his game back in like a month to the other guy that's been suffering for eight years
>>35073307
Say what you want, but I've had peanut nuts ever since I took this stuff

jesus how is this legal

Interesting.
My hair started thinning in my late 20s, so I started with 2% for women and since summer this year I went for rogaine foam 5%, I think my libido was gone since I started using it, not sure to be honest, I also have MS so is what I used to blame.
Rogaine helps me keep what shitty hair I have left, hair over dick anytime.

>>35073807
>hair over dick anytime.
no offense bro but your priorities are absolutely fucked

These comments are so bullshit. "I took this ONCE and now I'm crazy in the hospital with psychosis." Bull fucking shit. That is biologically impossible. Personally I've never taken it, but drugs like these with infamous side effects tend to cause mass hysteria. I was on accutane a few years ago and before I took it I started to look at the symptoms. Try it and you'll see there are people supposedly suffering from accutane decades later just like rogain. People would say that their lives are ruined and that they can no longer walk because they took accutane for a week. It's bullshit. Something else is causing the symptoms and people attribute it to the drug. Of course there are a rare few but it's something like 2%.

You fags don't even know how drug side effects work and how scientist link them

>was gonna get ED
>happens to take minoxidil
>never realize ED and hair loss usually occur at the same time

Seriously, why are some people so fucking stupid?

Also,

>propecia masterrace

And I can still fuck 7 times a day no problem

>>35073956
But minox's whole shtick is being the drug that doesn't cause your dick to droop, unlike fin. And most of the sides described in the comments are pretty consistent

>>35073956
Has it occurred to you that the 2% are much more likely to go online and complain about it?

God damn it I was just about to buy some of this shit to see if it could speed up my facial hair growth.
Ah well it was too good to be true, glad I didn't use it but fuck I want a beard like the rest of my family

>>35074375
this.
it's confirmation bias and a huge circlejerk on forums where people discuss the side effects of a drug making it seem much more dangerous then it is.
If you actually take a drug, and it works, why the fuck are you online discussing it, you get on with your day

>>35072248

I keep telling people who are bald or balding not to give a shit about regrowing, but they never listen. Look at all these fucks. 22 years old. 50 years old. Heart palpitations, anxiety, etc. Of course you're going to get these things if you don't change your diet and stop worrying. It seemed like it worked for some people. However, it drastically effected their erections and ejacualtion.

If you're going bald, own it. People who do shit with their hair are narcissists.

>>35075333
>People who do shit with their hair are narcissists.
nah, nothing wrong with wanting to maintain your hair. It's a perfectly normal desire

>>35072248

all those complaints sound like either bullshit or unrelated: people complaining about ED after 10 days of use or other that continued taking it for several years depsite while claiming they knew about it.

Also:
> ptsd
> 50 plus years old complaining about ED like its not related to their age

>>35076934
I'm 18 years old, mang, and I'm here telling you that I took this for three weeks and the sexual sides have persisted for four months. My balls are visibly smaller, and I don't get the pleasure from sex that I used to. This all started shortly after I began taking minox.

>>35072919
Alcar is about the only thing that I know of for androgen receptor sensitivity. I think any carnitine can work p much tho.

Most of this is bs tho. The skin issues happen if you use a ridiculous amount or the alcohol dries your skin too much and you don't moisturise. It can trigger heart stuff by being a vasodilator though I used it on my skin for beard shit and had a heart thing a few years back and had no problems. It'll have a much lesser effect when applied to your scalp and caffeine is way worse. Along with the heart thing I had issues with libido and erections and using minoxidil I didn't see those symptoms return at all. And I am hyper aware about that.

It may affect penis size if you're pre pubescent. DHT is the major hormone for penis growth then. But it's likely balding guys just worried about aging and masculinity blaming minox for everything ever.

I'm on this shit for 3 months already and have had absolutely no sexual side effects.

>>35077414
I'll check out Alcar, thanks.

And I dunno what to say, man. It's good that you haven't had any side effects, but mine started almost immediately after I began using the stuff and matches a lot of the other reviews on that site to a tee. And I did post that study upthread that demonstrated that minox can fuck with your androgen receptors.

>>35072248
I was rubbing 5% minox on my face and scalp for months without any problems. those lowtests would had gotten those symptoms anyway
