Hmmm, spanker, great post. However, it doesn't explain why some former users claim that after stopping they regained their sexual drive. I know that without a doubt, Propecia did it to me. Completely different class of drug, I know, but I am saying this to emphasize that I noticed the difference. I also notice the different in the last 6 months. It might be unrelated - I did just turn 30. But, having stopped for about a week, I already felt different... the same girl got it up when she didn't before. I am not saying this is anything but a fluke, or even psychosomatic... I will give it a long run haul and see what happens. I am afraid of this, however.. I know that a month might mean 6 months of lost work as far as hair goes, perhaps irreversibly.

By the way - I've been getting hair growing all over my body since I started use. On the back, especially the bottom, way hairier chest etc. Even in the ears, a bit even on top of them! This might just be because of my age, turning 30 etc, but it is freaking me out.

If anyone is interested in the possible side effects of Rogaine, check out this link: ROGAINE EXTRA STRENGTH (FOR MEN): Side effects, ratings, and patient comments My personal experience is this: I first tried Minoxi 5% topical liquid at around age 25, and had a really itchy scalp. Decided to stop. Then tried Propecia for a year, my libido went way down, so I stopped. I then became insanely horny. Had 3 crazy years, but ended up being very thin on the top of the head. Then started using Rogaine Foam since this January. Have seen impressive results. But, my libido went way down. I have the hottest girlfriend I've ever had now, and sometimes it is hard getting it up. Just a few days off it and I already feel myself way more sexual (might be psychosomatic but it's true - I get an erection from girls on the street, something I forgot happens since I started using this spray). I have been using it every 2-3 days for 10 days now. My scalp now has a mineralish layer - the root of many hairs has a little "mineral" thing and it just falls off. I think this is the "turbo mode" of hairloss. Not sure what to do!
