Jumped to 15%

[bald86]

Hello all,

I have just recently started treating my hair loss with the big three. I used Rogaine Foam for about 2 weeks but there was no shedding at all and I was suspecting that it was not working, so I switched to Rogaine %5 liquid at day and Minoxidil 15% w/ Azelaic Acid 5% and Retina-A from Perfect Image Solutions at night -- in addition to Generic Finasteride and Nizoral 1% . Now I'm seeing excessive shedding and I can even see my scalp in areas where I could not before. And I'm not sure if this is because the 15% minoxidil product is actually working or because it's scam.

So my questions are:

• Is there anyone here who uses 15% Minoxidil form Perfect Image Solutions and can attest to its effectiveness?[/*:m:xqcf910b]
• Is there really a difference between Minoxidil 5% and 15%? Now that 15% is no longer available, I'm wondering if it's a bad idea to continue with this regimen for 3 months and then switch back to 5% when I run out of my 15% minoxidil, which leads me to my next question[/*:m:xqcf910b]
• Will I lose any gains I made by using Minoxidil 15% when I switch back to 5% three months from now?[/*:m:xqcf910b]

Thanks

Remember,that 15% minoxidil was never approved by FDA.So i think that 2 weeks is to early to see shedding,you must wait at least 1 month...just continue the big three,minoxidil finasteride and nizoral,you can add your Retin-a and spironolactone s5% cream if you wish for better results.In my opinion it's wrong to say that Finasteride is drug just for maintaing what you have it's very very wrong in my opinion..cause if you are lucky,you can achieve amazing regrowth with finasteride...
