should i stop minoxidil

[ups1984]

Hi All, I am looking for some advice regarding my hair condition. I started loosing my hair about 3 years ago (im 22). I start minoxidil about 5 months ago. I think my first shed took place within about 4 days of my first use. i shedded quite a bit...now about 2 weeks ago i started shedding and this time especially from the crown. my hair is thinner than ever. I am not sure what exactly this is. PLUS...i dont think i have seen any regrowth.

Nehow...can someone else shed some light (not hair ) on this? should i stop minoxidil...should i continue..how long should i continue for and is it worth added Propecia.

Don't stop minoxidil. Thats the thing with minoxidil, once you start using it, you can't stop because, all the hairs grown on it, wether you notice them or not will shed after stopping it. Are you on minoxidil only? If so, try going on finasteride (propecia) and getting nizoral shampoo.
