Sleeping problem. Hands legs move frequently while sleeping

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

It is not impossible - although this would be among the extremely rare side effects I have had patients report. It's difficult in many such cases to know if truly related or not, as there are many other reasons for the symptoms you describe.   Please see your physician for a full review of described symptoms and health.

rogaine or minoxidil has many side effects and although it is sold over the counter, it should be used under doctors ' supervision. The side effects could be from rogaine, but to be sure you need to see your dovtor for an evaluation.
