Quiting minox/rogaine right as dread shed starts

[Thaddaeus]

I don't use minoxidil but I've had the finasteride shed that lasted 2-3 months and at the peak I was shedding >300 hair/day, best thing you can do is not think about it (stop counting it), it will stop and you will only lose a small percentage that will regrow anyway, stronger if you kept on the treatment.
A shed hair is not a hair that is lost it's just making room a for a new one to grow, it just hair going through its cycles.

Note that if your hair is miniaturizing the hairs have a shorter life-cycle and so drop out with a greater frequency giving rise to the shedding that is observed with MPB.

It's normal to lose 50-150 hairs/day anyway, most people don't notice it until they get paranoid about losing it.

I used Minoxidil, at first I was told by a well known Hair company it would increase shedding, and it did..... but was also told because I was not bald (I had a bald patch) and that I still had hair follicles, I would see full covering, not thick, but full coverage and did I see better results, no, anyway I continued for quite a while with no results based on what I was told 16 months. Anyway, I stopped in July 2015 which is 3 months ago and the shedding is decreasing.... My advice, I don't know if anything works so make the best of what you have. What other option do we have. basically it didn't work for me...
