Quitting Minoxidil Early

[Newonthis]

Hello:

I made the mistake of starting on Minoxidil a month ago without doing any research. My hair has never really bothered me as I just had very minor thinning in the crown area and no family history of balding. A friend just recommended it and and I didn't think there would be any negatives in trying it.

I have had a lot of shedding in my crown area since starting and my scalp is now quite visible. Also, applying this twice a day is really not practical for me. My question is if I can just stop using this and get back to where I was. Or am I now at a point where I need to continue using Minoxidil until I get the hair to grow back. I have switched over to once a day recently to see if that will decrease the shedding.

Thanks for your replies.
