Anybody Ever Get A Scary-ish Minoxidil Shed?

[austintheberg]

I've been using minoxidil for about a year. Recently I've started to notice a little bit more shedding than usual and that my hair seems a little thinner than normal. I've heard this is normal with using minoxidil, as the hairs that grow back are thicker(?) Anybody ever gotten this?

to get a shed after one year of use is a bit strange tho? i am having the most insane shed now tho after using it for one month, i am shedding all over my head, not just where i applied the minoxidile and i have already gotten facial hair from it.

I shed from weeks 2 to 6, then no shedding for 8 months, but recently I had another shed, as big as the first. It's scary but it has now slowed down and there has been no noticeable cosmetic effect.

I shed week in beginning and had growth around week 5 or 6.
