Rogaine, shedding grow back if I stop?

[ViktorA]

Hey,

I am 21 year old guy now, I started using Rogaine 5% right after I turned 19 and I used it for about 8 months, and all was good. But during a month that summer I didn't use it and then when I started using it again I started shedding a lot. So after 3 weeks of shedding I stopped and started using Propecia instead. But after about half a year I wanted to do something about my receding hairline so i started with Rogaine 5% again. There was a little bit of shedding in the beginning but I stopped after a while and i continued until now. But during the past three weeks I have been shedding a lot, again.

I'm not sure what to do, I'm not sure i want to risk going all the way with Rogaine and perhaps lose even more hair or just stick with Propecia and the vitamins. What do you think? And if I stop taking Rogaine will my shedded hair grow back as it was before? I'm pretty desperate at the moment.

Thank you!
Viktor
