Hey Mdhuhg2- I have used Minox for a while now and I noticed a lot of regrwoth and thickening from Minox. Check out my forum - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/156479-minoxidil-temples.html
I have also started Fin for the last 3 months and I have noticed a lot more regrowth! I understand the initial worriness about the Fin side effects, but in my personal opinion it has been worth it. Even though I think it caused an outbreak for me, there is no guarantee it was from that. I am waiting for it to cool down before I take more as I am on a course of antibiotics, however I have not experienced any negative side effects in terms of my libido or ED.
Good luck with growth!
