Is Rogaine likely to mess up future treatments?

[Tracy C]

When I used rogaine I had a horrible shed that forced me to stop using.

...The same happened with finasteride.

For the benefit of everyone reading this, stopping Minoxidil due to shedding is usually a very big mistake. Shedding means the medicine was working and doing it's job. Stopping the medicine before it can get hair growing again can and usually will leave you much worse off than you were before you started. The same is true for Finasteride. If you do not feel you can deal with shedding, don't bother trying to treat your hair loss.
