Quitting Minoxidil--am I stuck?

[shootingguard]

I have been on Minoxidil for at least 5 months, using once daily. I'd say that last month, I was at a point where I was fairly confident that I had made some progress (although my hair had grown out so it was hard to gauge my progress). Lately though, I noticed that my progress has seemed to recess and I'm nowhere near where I was at that point and looking like when I had first started it.

I just wanted some advice on what I should do. minoxidil is such a bother and if it's not going to help me, I'd be better off not using it.

Are you also taking finasteride?

If not, I'd be careful about getting off minoxidil. You could be in for a rude surprise.

I'm taking finasteride...I'll probably stick with minoxidil, maybe it's just a slight shed
