Restarting minoxidil again...question

[exactly15]

I used minoxidil for about a year and a half and saw great results but became lazy and quit. Its been almost a year since i stopped and i have seen pretty big losses since. If I restart now, will I see similar results, or should I expect the worst?

I think all things considered, being a good responder to it intially I would think you should get pretty good regrowth again. The only way to know is to give it a shot!

I agree, get back on it.

May i ask where you buy the Minoxidil and how often you use it? Thanks.

Ebay, minoxidil foam, and once per day currently.

I am bumping this thread simply because I would like to hear the opinions of Cassin, Bryan or any one who has restarted minoxidil after stopping it for one year or more can post their experience if they were able to peak once again with regrowth. Another words, if you only lost a little when you stopped it for at least 9 months to a year, can you at least get back to where you used to be the previous year if you did respond to minoxidil but thought it was never helping.

NO one can tell you how much will grow back, are you baseline or worse than before you started rogaine? Look at it this way you have nothing to lose, you have past positive experience where it worked so you have something positive to look at.

I put some foam on last night and this morning and no bloated face. I am going to stick with it for now. Maybe I can get back to where I was last year at least which is definitely better than now. I am just going to put it on areas that need it only instead of all over. I am going to use it very sparingly though. Thanks for the responses. If anyone else stopped and restarted and got some success please post your story.
