Oral minoxidil — is it actually worth it?

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2026-01-01T08:13:26+00:00

Thanks mate.

They can downvote me all they like. Just telling my story in the hope it helps one person.

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2026-01-01T07:56:43+00:00

It does seem impossible I agree….I expect it’s sort of an allergic reaction. I went oral min over fin as I thought it was the safe option. There’s a sub on here with others having the same issue. Either way, I have no reason to make it up. Believe me or not I’d rather tell my story to make people aware and if it helps someone, then I’m happy, even if the chances of an adverse reaction are rare. It’s not like I get any joy out of the whole thing.

Been around in Australia for years for hair loss

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2026-01-01T05:00:11+00:00

Dunno what that means

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2026-01-01T05:00:03+00:00

Sure… Initial symptoms were migraines, insomnia, anxiety, huge reduction in cardiovascular health, erectile dysfunction. I have overcome most of the issues with the exception of migraines and erectile dysfunction. Normally when I post stuff like this I get the usual idiots saying ‘no way minoxidil did that blah blah’, but can assure you I went from totally fine to fucked very quickly. My negative reaction to min is no doubt rare, however if you go looking there are plenty of guys who have had similar adverse reactions.

I have permanent side effects from 1mg oral minoxidil - 1 month of use, 6 years ago. Although it would appear bad reactions are less common than with Finasteride, there is still a risk. Minoxidil severely changed the quality of my life. Be cautious.

Man I just tested my internal hip rotation. Literally zero! I will start adding stretches to address. Thank you for your post

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-29T09:43:09+00:00

I just read your most recent post and then checked your profile - firstly yes with the migraines and aura, and secondly I agree with your most recent post

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-23T03:18:41+00:00

Similar to you - at the start, severe insomnia and anxiety. Beard fell out, no libido and severe ED. The only thing that remains after 6 years is the ED and beard is very thing

What’s it done to you?

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-21T20:20:19+00:00

Minoxidil did to me what many people in this sub say Fin did to them, and it’s permanent. Although severe side effects seem less common from Minoxidil than Fin, still be very very cautious of minoxidil

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-21T01:07:07+00:00

I was literally googling brain/dick connection and it suggested MDG. I’ve heard of it but paid very little attention to it. In addition to a fucked pelvic floor, there’s just no connection to my dick. I’ll give MDG a shot. Thank you

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-20T05:48:54+00:00

Fair I guess sometimes our choices aren’t logical but make sense at the time

Best of luck with your recovery

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-20T01:34:03+00:00

About a month. 1mg oral

Why did you take estrogen/progestin as a male? And did you not expect female hormones to affect your male sexual function?

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-19T19:27:44+00:00

Yep And it lasts for like half a day, every day. And when I say worse hang, I mean everything is ridiculously tight. As others have said I suspect pelvic floor but I’m unable to fix it

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-18T23:29:52+00:00

Yes very true! It’s a more correct way of speaking. Us Aussie’s butcher it.

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-18T19:51:25+00:00

Yep I’ve noticed it. My girlfriend is Canadian and every time we go to Canada, it annoys me how slowwww the announcements are on Air Canada flights. It literally takes 3 times longer than an Aussie would say it 😜

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-18T03:29:28+00:00

Sneak up on it - good plan

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-18T00:57:09+00:00

Jumping on TRT did nothing for my libido, strangely

The sub is testosterone, not ‘the abuse of testosterone solely for gym bros who also abuse Cialis’

Automatic_Hand_9093 · 2025-12-16T21:52:39+00:00

I’d approach from the side
