Just a quick question for the hair loss gurus here

Hey, Im on holiday at the moment I bought my medication with me this is my regime:

Proscar 1/4 x1 (since nov 05)
minoxidil 5% x1 (since nov 04)
spironolactone 5% x1 (since mar 07)
minoxidil 15% x1 (since nov 07)
Natural Shampoo & Conditioner (since aug 07)

I have didnt calculate how much I would use very wel and I am running dry on products I have run out of my 15% and almost out of my 5% minoxidil and spironolactone leaving me with only my proscar. I calculated that I would be without these 3 products fro roughly 8 or 9 days is this bad for my hair??? I have already been a little stingy the last 2 weeks with it so it would last longer. I am really worried I will loose my dependent hairs (if any) that I have re-grown. To be honest I go through bottle of minoxidil in 2 weeks because I am a diffuse thinner, I know that is dangerous.

What are your thoughts???
I would love to hear form someone...should I be worried over 9 days???

mmm b**ch isnt it? everyones done it though. everytime it happens to me im always saying
'next time im definitely gonna order in advance or buy two' but i never do.

its not ideal for the spironolactone but taking a week off minoxidil shouldnt hurt. theres no danger in using a bottle every two weeks btw im sure plenty of people do - i did before i switched to the foam.

Ahh k. so missing spironolactone apps will not be so good then,,,i figured i onlly use it once a day so it shouldnt be so bad i have done it twice before and it seemed ok. I have never missed minoxidil except one time for like 4 days. I hink im just paranoid. iim glad theres others like me who use xtra minoxidil instead of the required dose.
does anyone think i should use more spironolactone and/or anyother produts with my regime,,,im thinking of dropping the fifteen percent minoxidil its likr gkue and screws my hair up.
cheers.
