Finally feel like the minoxdil side effects have gone

This post is to give some hope to anyone with ED.

Just going to type everything in my head, it's not going to be structured so bare with me.

At the start of January I started minoxdil rogain 5% i applied it 1x a day everyday, I would put it on my hair and face sometimes. After I would say 4-5 days later my labido was gone, I noticed that at night I didn't have the urge to masterbate at night at all. Then I noticed I wasn't getting morning wood like I used to and I noticed that my penis felt really weak and small. Im 6 1/2" on a good day but Instead it would be like 5" - 5 1/2" when errect. My penis felt like it had no life in him , when I managed to get some what errect it wouldn't last more than 10 seconds before it would deflate.

I didn't think much of it until 3 weeks later when nothing has improved that's when I discovered this subreddit.

Honestly at the time I was reading posts of people saying that have not recovered 2-3 years later, I went a deep rabbit hole of reading posts from reddit, Facebook, ask patients website and I came to the conclusion I am f'd.

It f me mentally, I just into my first ever relationship at 30 and was planning to do it with my girl for the first time. I couldn't believe what happened. I stopped immediately and began buying supplements from amazon, any supplements that looked healthy I would buy.

Spent over £100s of pound because I could not give a f about anything else apart from getting back my penis.

After some research and buying supplements

I would take

Beetroot, pomegranate and oranges.

a number of supplements like P5p, black macca, L arginine, L citrulline and more (full list of supplements In my post history)

Over a month later I saw slight improvements in my penis, it would inflate a bit better but still no labido or morning wood.

But as time went on my penis has been making a full recovery.

It quite litterly recovered very slowly but definitely improved

E.g. my penis would inflate to normal size however the base would still feel soft, if I squize it there wasn't much tension

And now out of no where 2 weeks ago I noticed my penis has been really hard, I had forgotten how it felt like to have a hard penis.

I luckily recovered in time to have my first ever sexual experience this year.

Just wanted to let people know to not lose hope.

So my guess is along side the supplements and just good old time my penis is back to normal. I get happy when my penis gets hard from just thoughts, might be a normal thing for others but for minoxdil sufferers it is a nightmare.

Hope the best for your recovery
