Does minoxidil Hair Regrow After Stopping And Then Restarting?

I stopped minoxidil about 3 months ago, and have read that once you stop using it the hair falls out.

Does anyone know that if after it sheds you start again it grows back quickly, or am I looking at starting from scratch all over again?

You will return to baseline eventually, if you are not taking finasteride or another 5ari you may be worse off because DHT had deteriorated your hair in that time span.

Yeah don't worry I'm a 15 years veteran of hairloss and dutasteride / finasteride.

I came off everything after having a worrying liver count on some blood tests, so after giving my body some time off I'm starting finasteride, minoxidil and derma rolling / needling.

Just wondering if the hair specifically lost from stopping minoxidil will regrow now I'm back on it, or if it's a case of taking a year to see any regrowth again.
