Quitting minoxidil after one year.

[ardana]

So i've been applying minox for about a year now all over my hairline. Had no results but some baby hair/vellus hair, maybe a slight thickening up. I wouldn't mind applying it forever but it makes my face SO bloated (i've had other people comment on it) and also makes my face feel heavy. It also gives me headaches from time to time.

So I've decided to quit it. But i'm massively afraid i might shed healthy hairs or my hairline will become worse than when i started the minox. For the last two months, i've been applying it only once a day. For the past two weeks, i've been applying it only once every two days. And today i've decided to finally come off it. I haven't had any noticeable shedding yet. I also want to say i didn't have any shedding when i started applying it a year ago.

I'm also on fin for about the same time i've been applying minox now, without any side-effects. I'm hoping this will indefinitely maintain my hair on its own.

So will quitting the minox do anything? Keeping in mind that i didn't have any noticeable sheds while starting or tapering it off, and not any noticeable results either.
