(pics) Should I Stop Using Minoxidil?

[c bardo]

Been using Minoxidil for over a month on my hairline. I know shedding is normal but to me it seems excessive. It started within a few days of using minoxidil. And I'm shedding all over, not just my hairline.

I feel my hairline has gotten considerably worse and seems to me like its really pushing back. Since some people say not only does minoxidil not work for them but they never seem to recover from the shed, I'm really considering stopping now before it gets worse. I'm seeing a doctor Friday.

What do you guys think?

It looks like the same; just the angle is different. Try to get on Finasteride.

Hopefully I can get on it Friday. Have you heard of any success with derma rolling and using something like lavender oil or castor oil? I saw a couple of video updates from people using them and they had a lot of success on their hairline. Minoxidil is freaking me out, especially since I'm shedding EVERYWHERE and I'm only applying it on my hairline. Its been nonstop for over a month. That's why I'm sure my hairline is worse, it has to be.

Continue, give it time to work, if minoxidil could regrow hair in 1 month, it would be a miracle drug. It works for most, but it will take some time so ride through the shed. Since you are not diffuse thinning, I personally feel that a solo treatment using minoxidil, or a duel finasteride-minoxidil treatment will work really well for you.

To be honest, your hair is in great shape so you should not worry so much.
