"The product works for me. I was very dubious but decided to try it as a last-ditch attempt before an FUE hair transplant. I don't need a transplant now, I am thrilled to say! New fine hairs started to grow after five weeks, and I didn't notice any shedding at all. It's best to keep track with a shaving mirror. Now at three months, my old hairline is returning, which is almost beyond belief! My only fear is that this progress will slow, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. Things are looking good, and the fine hairs are thickening and darkening."

"This Rogaine Men's Extra Strength medication caused my face to swell and my hands/feet. It causes excruciating headaches and makes your head feel as though it weighs 5 pounds. It causes irregular and rapid heartbeats, some nausea/vomiting. In the area applied, it takes the color from your hair and leaves it 'gray.' It causes you to feel dizzy, like fainting and fatigue with cold chills intermittently. Maybe taking a diuretic would have eliminated the discomfort and unpleasantness of facial swelling and feeling heavy-headed."

"This was recommended by my dermatologist. I've been using Rogaine for about ten years, I think I am getting results, so I have stuck with it for so long. Although it improves the health of the thinning areas and may even slow down the process of male pattern baldness, I don't see any hard evidence that dead hair follicles are revitalized. In fact, it is my belief that once a hair follicle dies, like anything else, it dies. I'm 59, and I believe my hair still looks good, feels good, and the balding process has been, at the very least, slowed to an acceptable level."

"When I used Rogaine for the first time, I instantly started to see results within 2 weeks. My hair was filling in and strengthening, but when I reached my third bottle in the case, I noticed it smelled a little stronger than the others did and it dried and made my hair weaker, then slowly started to fall out."

"This drug ruined my life. The first time I applied Kirkland 5% to my head, within minutes I became extremely lightheaded, with blurry vision. This persisted for a week before I tried applying some more (maybe it wasn't minoxidil)? The 2nd application resulted in even more dizziness, and after my 3rd and 4th application, I began having severe multi-day headaches. Suffice to say, I completely stopped, but 8 months later, I am still suffering from an annihilated vestibular system causing major balance issues and constant dizziness and fatigue."
