Hi Everybody,
I'm new to the forum and need your opinions.
I’m 27, Asian, and please excuse my poor English!
Due to my hair thinning from age 25, I have started to use both Rogaine and finasteride at the same time for about two years. I have stopped taking Rogaine for about a year now because even with two applications a day, I felt that my hair did not benefit from it at all.
Like many users of rogaine, after about a week of application, I started to have crazy shed period that last about 2 months, longer than usual that I almost give up and went some sort depression. Anyway, I kept it going and by month 3-4 I started to see some good result. However, the result only lasted for about 2-3 month and my hair started to fall again. During this time I was still using both rogaine and finasteride. Unfortunately, the good hair still falls out. By this point, I was disappointed but kept using both medication for about 4-5 month and decided to stop gradually because there was just no result anymore. (Application once a day for rogaine and proscar into ¼ every other day).
It’s been about a year now and yes I started to care/worrying my hair again. So my question is, Should I use Rogaine again? Would it possibly give me good result again? I know you might think it’s probably no harm to try, but I do not want go thru crazy shed again and not getting any benefits.
I know there is probably no best answer, but any input would be appreciated, perhaps share your experience?
PS: I no longer taking finasteride after two years of use because I do have some side effects and realize this will probably do more harm than good.
