Hair regrowth with just minoxidil?

[chrisis]

Is it well known for hair to regrow with minoxidil alone?

The back story:

started finasteride in November 2011
started minoxidil in early January 2012
quit finasteride in late January 2012 (due to side effects)

I've noticed some fuzzy regrowth in my hairline, and I think it may be growing back slightly. Too early to say right now but I'm hopeful!

My question is whether this could be happening as a result of the minoxidil alone? I've been extremely careful about applying it twice every day and letting it soak properly.

My worry is that the regrowth was in part due to the finasteride, so it may fall out.

Any thoughts please?
