    I've been using it for 2 months. I have, however, had some dizziness/vertigo symptoms with the use of product. Definitely noticed hair growth but not as much as I would have liked. Can still see the visible outline of my bald area. Maybe it will fill in more over time. Not sure how long I will continue use as I am concerned about dizziness spells.

    Comment:
    Having used Rogaine regularly for over 3 months, my crown has thickened substantially. It feels as full as on the side of my head. I have regularly applied twice a day, never missed one. There is some stickiness to the hair especially after the second application, but it really works for me.
