continuing minoxidil or not?

[patrik]

hey guys. been on propecia almost 7 months and think im seeing an improvement, the thing is im also using minoxidil once a day and want to stop it but am afraid of the shed, i dont think its really done anything since i started using it with propecia, in fact, if anything its made my hair worse, what should i do? just continue with it? i havent used it in like 6 days apart from yesterday, any advice?

hey guys, one more thing, since i used the minoxidil yesterday my hair seems to have gotten worse, this is the third time my hair has looked worse, the first time when i first started using it my hairline dissapeared, the second time i swtiched to using a dropper and my hair got worse, and now my hair looks bad again, and on top of that it itches so much it probably causes me to lose more hair from scratching, should i just taper off slowly and eventually stop? help me please, thanks.

Once you start using minoxidil..everyone usually goes thru a big shed.People think it is minoxidil making things worse and quit it.You need to continue minoxidil atleast for a good 9-12 months to see any regrowth.
Finasteride = DHT inhibitor
Minoxidil = for hair regrowth

and on top of that it itches so much it probably causes me to lose more hair from scratching,

Try switching to rogaine foam..lot less flaking and almost no itching
