Started using Minoxidil 5% for 2 days and stopped it

[Illusion]

Let me give you an exemple of how using minoxidil actually works, because I think you're misunderstanding a few things that cause you to be scared of using it.


Let's say you start using minoxidil. Let's also, for the sake of this example, say that your MPB is going to stop for 6 months, meaning that you temporarily won't experience loss of hair due to MPB (Important: Everybody sheds hairs so you'll still shed hairs!). If you use the minoxidil for the next 6 months, you might regrow some hairs or thicken up hairs that already exist. If you stop after these 6 months, hair will start to fall out again but your hair will not get any less then before you started using minoxidil (except for hairs that might be lost due to MPB because minoxidil doesn't do a lot to MPB itself, it just sometimes regrow a bunch of hairs and thickens the existing hairs. This is the reason I said that, for the sake of this example, you wouldn't be suffering from MPB for these 6 months).


I guess you're affraid of that your hair has become dependent of minoxidil because you used it 2 days and thus, to get that hair you just lost back, have to get back on minoxidil again. That is not true. If you stop using minoxidil, you'll be fine and the hair you've lost due to the minoxidil-shed will grow back. However, you won't be able to reek the benefits of minoxidil anymore (which are thickening of your existing hair and possibly some regrowth).


Again, shedding right after starting minoxidil is as normal as wiping after doing a #2. If I were you, I'd get back on minoxidil because it can help to improve the state of your hair.
