also heard it causes a huge shed (i know meds are supposed to means they are working) in the hairline that might never come back so i worry about it speeding up my baldness if the hairs do not regrow and thirdly I suffer mild anxiety and have heard rogaine causes some fast heart palpatations ect dizzyness and this would not help me control any anxiety I have and more likely to cause a panic attack

If you are not willing to treat your hair loss, you need to learn how to come to terms with losing your hair. The only treatments that are actually proven to work are Propecia, Rogaine and the laser comb. All three can cause shedding because shedding is a necessary part of the treatment process. There is no way to avoid shedding and treat your hair loss at the same time. Reality really stinks sometimes.
