Should I take minoxidil?

[markrule]

I am 27 and have a Norwood II hair pattern. It's pretty stable, no noticeable loss since on fin for a couple of years. I remain thin on the crown though so it looks like a bit of a bald patch.

I've been looking at minoxidil to make it better and I'm on the fence about it. Firstly don't know how committed I could be to twice a day. Maybe so if I was probable to get good results from it but from the stories I read on here many people have ended up worse off on minoxidil. Secondly I want to be able to stop treatment if I decide it's not getting the desired results. But again some people said they have been worse off than they would have been when quitting. I have an alright hairline which I don't want to make worse and the stories I get on here are mixed if not negative but I really hate the patch.

Any advice or suggestions? Thanks.
