My Derm wants me to move from 5% to 10% Rogaine..Scared!

[Broken]

Last week went to my derm and he asked me to up my rogaine from 5% to 10%..Now im in a fix..I usually apply 5% rogaine 4-5 times a week, daily application is usually not possible for me..He wants me to move to 10% for exactly this reason..

The thing I am worried about is that what if

a. my hair got used to 10%, then I would have nowhere to go (if they got used to 5% I'd still go to 10%)
b. if later I want to stop my regime (i.e. had enough of it) then my hair that would have become used to a higher potency rogaine would fall off much faster & would have become more dependent on 10% rogaine..

Please help me out..what should I be doing..Are my fears real?

I use rogaine foam for that reason. Can't style my hair with the greasiness of liquid minoxidil. Try rogaine foam. Could well be that you can apply that twice a day and still be able to style your hair. (if that;s the problem)

Foam is what I use. I am more worried about the points I mentioned.

But anyways, how much foam do you use in one application? As in 1/2 cap or 3/4 cap..etc

Where does he want you to buy this 10% from?

From wherever I want.

But should I take the 10% or just continue with 5%? :dunno:
