To stop rogaine or not

[Sanchez123]

I posted earlier but received little response. I have been thinning for about 2 years now. I am 23 and at a crossroads. I have NO crown balding but very obvious hairline issues and just generally thin hair. I started propecia almost a year ago, so far, no side effects, no issues. I started rogaine last february and experienced the typical 2-3 month shed. Things got better, i was happy to see it was under control. After the 5-6 month mark hit, it got worse. I have now been shedding more than ever before for the last month straight. It is looking bad up top so I called my DR at bosley. He didnt seem to have an answer and suggested to drop the roagine to see if that is what is causing the shed since it is impossible to tell while on 2 drugs. Like I said I have no crown balding, so rogaine might not even be worth using for me, since that is what it is supposed to fix. The thing I am worried about is if i do stop the rogaine, will it get even worse? I dont want to ruin what I already have, but I also dont want to compromise anything by quitting after 6 months of daily use.... any suggestions?

Hi Charlie, What did you do eventually? Can you share your experience?
