1 year with Rogaine and no results

[Buster]

Good question... Probably just makes me feel better using it, like I'm maximizing what hair I have.

Ah, I see. So in other words it makes you feel better doing everything that you can to save your hair. I'm still debating trying monox, I've heard so many varying experiences with it.

I think it's the fear of "what might happen if I stop it" that keeps people on Rogaine. It's the unknown, the "what ifs". That's what makes hair loss companies so wealthy - half of the time it's based on people's fear and emotional dependency on the products.

I'm sure that the success rates of minoxidil are grossly over-estimated, although I'm sure it does work for some people.

I think that if you don't experience a severe shed at the beginning of treatment, then that's an indication that the product will not work for you. I experienced no increased shedding and after a year, no noticeable results.
