success adding rogaine after long time fin usage?
So I have been on Fin for close to 6 years now and saw fantastic success at first. Over the last 6-12 months I have noticed that I started losing hair again and I got on rogaine 5% foam about 2 months ago.
SInce I started the foam I have definitely thinned out a good bit which I'm hoping is rogaine-related shedding and not my MPB speeding up but who knows.
Anyways, i was wondering if anyone on here has added rogaine to their regimen after seeing effects from fin diminish a bit and if the rogaine has had any positive effect?
keep up the good fight.

You definitely don't want to discontinue your use of finasteride as this could reverse the benefits you've had in the previous years. A lot of people have success using finasteride and Rogaine in conjunction. Although finasteride typically works better than Rogaine, the combination of both tends to work better than either one alone. Also, shedding for a few weeks to a few months after starting a new treatment, particularly Rogaine, is totally normal. It is only temporary and should not cause permanent hair loss.

Thanks guys. CIT girl, you mentioned that it isnt unusual to experience shedding a few months after starting Rogaine. Is this true? I was under the impression shedding would only occur for a couple weeks...so I have been pretty freaked out that it seems like the shedding has been going on for two months or so now
thanks again!

There were a few studies that showed an increase in shedding for the first 3 months of minoxidil use. At this point, what you're experiencing is normal. By 6 months, you should regrow the lost hair and (hopefully) see some increase in density.

I am about to start taking fenestaride and was wondering if I should start Rogaine at the same time. Can anyone tell me what the smartest approach is to get the best results. Thanks!
