I`ve been using Walmart`s version of Rogaine 5% (a 3 pack is only $25) once a day at night all over my scalp for a month now, and so far I am happy with the results. My hair has almost completely stopped falling out, I lose 1-5 hairs a day. That gives me hope it will start growing thicker hair in the thin spots in a few months. I also noticed the hair on my face and arms are getting darker. I found another message board where some people had very bad side effects, so I`m starting to worry if I should try finding something else to help my hair. Has anyone had worse side effects then just darker body hair? TIA.

hey nona!

i have thought about trying rogaine for my balding problem but i am torn between that and viviscal. since it has been a few months since you wrote your question i was wondering if your hair has infact been growing in thicker. as for you question, my dermatologist did warn me that the side effects you are having are very possible. he also said that a stronger dose could cause thicker facial hair!
