How long do you have to use minoxidil to have a shed after quitting?

Well, to answer this question. its 1.5 months.

My hair is shedding like crazy now. Its scary as hell. 3 months and 1 week after stopping. God i wish i never ever used that poison. Literally 100+ hairs come out in the shower and my hair has become much thinner in literally 1 week!

Now the question is.... Has anyone ever recovered from the shed

I have heard it takes 6-7 months from the time you stop to see your real baseline

I have also heard ppl say its permanently screwed their hair... but this usually comes from the ppl who get scared at first sight of shedding after quitting and jump back on minox poison just to have another start shed and crappy results and a bloated face

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. Almost all my hair is gone at this point. I want to shave it off, but I'm too big of a pansy. I quit in May and don't know if I have any hope of recovering a baseline. I was on it religiously for about a year and only experienced more and more shedding. What a disastrous treatment. I would be so much better off to have done nothing.

It's still shedding at a terrifying rate, despite there hardly being any left to shed. **** Rogaine.
