My erection are back after 3 weeks since crashing. Only my labido is probably 30% of what it used to be... Instead of feeling like sex everyday I now only feel like it maybe once a week.. I also find I'm not checking out girls all the time like before as the interest and labido is significantly reduced from what it was

I am working hard to fix this issue, i am 100% sure that minoxidil caused all these issues. I don’t think it works like finasteride as a lot of people think and here are the reasons. First finasteride affects hormones but minoxidil doesn’t as i did all blood tests and all are normal, second I have noticed a weird thing and that is it doesn’t only cause sexual side effects, but it lowers the sensation in all the body or at least the lower body, I noticed that i have a much lower urge to pee and second i live in jordan where winters are cold and homes are not well isolated, so i used to wear socks all the time during winter except for the winter after using minoxidil as my feet doesn’t feel cold anymore. (I am off minoxidil for a year now). I think it works more like a local or full anesthesia (i did a knee surgery 2 years ago on local anesthesia and it feels similar now but on a damped level). I hope someone research this subject matter and finds a cure for this poison.

I also faced some side effects after using Minoxidil. But then I discontinued it and recovered though it took a month to overcome it. But now I am using a Vitamin shampoo to boost my hair growth and it has shown some great results.

I've never heard about minox sexual side effects...

Hi friend,

I used minoxidil 5 % almost 3 months and now I'm so worried that as you still have symptoms after use of only 2 weeks . !!

My symptoms are same like.. no morning erection, 0 libido, no random day erection which was very normal for me , numbness and shrink in penis size, hardly get erect by self stimulation...
I'm so depressed what happened to me? What I do now..

But thing is that this symptoms are not continued, it 100% recovers for 15-20 days and again come back for almost for a month since I stopped using of minoxidil.

Is your symptoms are same manner like recovered and again back ...?

Did you feel any difference before 1 year and now..?
Is there anyone who fully recovered from this ? And how much time it takes to recover?
Please reply...

Hello Vicky,

I have the same symptoms like you. I just need to know what do you feel now? Are you still suffering from Minoxidil or you recovered 100%?

Guys,

I don't like saying this but your effects are purely psychological. Millions and millions of people use minoxidil, and there is no reported study on permanent sexual side effects. Only one study in India (after 4months) reports sexual side effects TOGETHER with other major side effects including palpitation, chest tightness, dizziness. AND it says that the entire side effects went away when the person discontinued the drug. Here is the study:

http://www.ijmrps.com/Issues%20PDF/Vol.4/May-2017/5.pdf

If you are having palpitation, chest tightness, dizziness, your body is probably giving an allergic reaction to the drug and of course your libido will go away as well! You cannot have libido when you have chest tightness! Libido is a tricky thing. Being anxious automatically zeros your libido!

This is what happens: you have low self esteem or anxiety for some reason (could be work related or relationship related), you cannot get as hard one time or two times, you think something must be wrong with you. Later, you search for the 'causes' of a temporary erection failure. Da-da! You find minoxidil to blame! Some overthink about erection failure and turn this into a permanent condition due to anxiety.

Notice that vast majority of people who wrote on this forum disappeared after telling crazy things about how their lives are destroyed by minoxidil. Probably they had a good sex once and forgot about all the crazy shit they were talking about.

Some talk about how their libido sometimes 'comes back' and later 'goes away'. If there is any permanent damage, this wouldn't have been possible.

I am writing all of these for those guys who experienced a low libido or erection problem once and googled 'minoxidil and ED' to find these kinds of forums. Friends, it is literally impossible for minodixidl to have this effect permanently on you. If you are too concerned, simply discontinue the drug. Take a rest, relax and try to enjoy your time. Cheers.

I know a lot of people always says that Minoxidil doesn't cause side effects but a made a research in a lot of foruns and many people are complaining about that, and i am one of those people...

I started using minoxidil for a month when i noted the side effects like low libido and Erectile disfunction, for the first time in my life i cannot have sex with a girl, and i see a lot of foruns and a lot of mens with the same problems, when i discover that was minoxidil the villain i immediatly stopped using, 1 weak later i had no more ED problems but my semen was like water so 1 weak working fine and the ED seems to be coming back and the watery semen is still on. I always was a very healthy with a great libido and it stopped a month after starts using it

Anyone have the same problem that me? Any advice about the recovery? I desesperated! (sorry about the bad english)

I already read about it in three forums and it seems to me that this is some kind of conspiracy against minoxidil. This is one of the safest substances and you can not have problems with an erection because of it. The problem may be different and you may not even suspect it ... Just think about it. In any case, I would advise you to use a few tablets of cialis. When I had problems with sex, I ordered a lot of drugs from andrikofarmakeio.com and my penis was active for a very long time. So you decide! But first, it's best to consult a doctor!

I need to contact you - I too suspect this. Run your finger down your belly - as it goes past a certain point you may feel a change in sensation - for me this appeared a few weeks after using Minoxidil. I believe it can have an affect on the body and perhaps via changing the nervous system (maybe loosening surrounding arteries and restricting them or directly interacting with the nerves themselves?). This for me has been dramatic, but getting better - slowly. It has not only produced a lower libido, etc but I also couldn't eat for a week or two after the numbness began, my stomach seemed to turn off! Minoxidil is a very strange substance - it obviously works well for some - yet wreaks havoc for others. I have also experienced these 'Minoxo-shills' who will fight for the death to defend it - simply NEVER respond to them, they won't have any advice regardless. Remember - no response for them in any form please!
AND GOOD LUCK IN FIGHTING THIS!
