Rogaine Worked Great but I Stopped Due to Loss of Libido

Hey thanks for your time. I had been using rogaine 5% solution for about 2 years. I only used it once a day.. but I used a lot more than the recommended dosage(all over my head). I have had a lot of regrowth even on the hair line. I quit using rogaine about a month ago due to face bloating and loss of libido.

I started taking procerin about a week after I quit using rogaine and I started using nioxin about 2 weeks ago. I am still experience a lot of regrowth. I even buzzed my hair the other day and I still see slow improvement like always. Do you think it is my new regimen? or is it still the rogaine that is causing my hair to still improve?

People attribute all sorts of problems to specific medications, but I doubt the Rogaine (minoxidil) caused the libido effects. You used the medication for 2 years before you saw any issues, so it is strange that you’d suddenly develop a loss of libido.

I would’ve tried using less of the Rogaine (or in your case, just using the recommended dosage) before stopping it completely, but that was your call to make. I don’t know what to attribute your continued hair improvement to, but if you only stopped Rogaine a month ago you’ll likely see the benefits disappear over the next few months. Those new products you’re using won’t maintain what Rogaine regrew, since they don’t contain minoxidil.

Procerin’s main ingredient is saw palmetto which is a popular yet unproven hair loss treatment, but Nioxin is definitely not something I’d recommend if you’re serious about treating your hair loss.
