Advice Needed, Thinking Of Quiting minoxidil.

[NateF]

It's been 6 months now. No results. minoxidil has eaten away my frontal hairline. I'm having bad side effects since taking it.

At work the other day a co-worker snapped a pic of myself. When she showed it to me I was horrified to see I had fattened heavily in my face, and was developing extra flab on my neck under my jaw that wasn't there prior. I looked gross. How did my face balloon out in such a short period?

I'm believing minoxidil is the culprit. I've gained weight heavily while on it. Thinking it was the amount of Soda I was drinking, since then I have only drank nothing but diet.

Truth is my hair is extremely thin and wispy. I don't think minoxidil is right for it.
I just started Spectral RS about 3 weeks ago.

Also considering dropping Proscar. It'll be 2 years this February I've been on it and have no results. I'm still thinning extremely fast, all over my head.

Do you guys think I should quit Proscar as well?

You're panicking. minoxidil doesn't eat hairlines. It doesn't make any sense to think this. The only reason people think so is because they're hoping they'll have more hair when they stop minoxidil.

It is possible to lose hair while you're on minoxidil. I had this problem, but later it turns out I am allergic to PPG.

The fat face is also a myth because of minoxidil. You're face is just fatter than you thought.
