Stopping Minoxidil

[gh05]

After about a year of using 2% minoxidil, and more recently 6 weeks of using 5% minoxidil on the hairline corners, I'm seriously considering giving it up.

I don't believe that it has helped me at all - and think maybe in ways it possibly speeded up the process (of course I will never really know). Anyway, I hope that my hairline corners don't now completely fall out. Fingers crossed.

I think rogaine is a temporary solution at best and when you want to live your life and forget about hairloss, the two applications a day make that hard to do.

BTW...I've just read on the bottle that it is both for regrowth AND preventing future hair loss - how true is it that it can slow down hair loss? Are there any studies to show that it does slow the process? I hear mixed reports all the time.

I use minoxidil 5% once a day about six months, and use minoxidil 5% two times a day. Because of negative side effect (faster Aging, and faster grow hair on tbe beard - I am not sure) I stopp to use minoxidil. I dont have a good rezults. I ask, How many days it takes to falling all hair which grow up with minoxidil????

Yeah I put it on my hair loss for about 8 months and quit because I think that it was making mine worse. The box clearly tells u not to put it along hair loss so I take that as a hint that it doesnt work in that area. PPL tell me its because FDA tests were never done in that area so they cant advise us to put there. Well the FDA should test it there so we can get some results to see for sure what percent it works on

Theres many that use it on the hair line... some get good and some get very little results or some none.

Id say my hair line has got slightly worser since starting it on my hair line... but then again Id say it was just due to the 4 years I tried it on my hair line.

Im giving liquid minoxidil a try past 4 months and well had a little difference but frankly if I aint seen much improvement by end of this year ill pack in the whole lot.
