I had been using minoxidil for 7 years. I'm now 7 weeks post transplant and was told to restart minoxidil after 2 weeks. On the 15 th day, I restarted minoxidil only to see quite a few hairs on my pillow the next morning! I stopped using it again and my pillow had minimal hairs on it the following mornings. I gave it another week and tried using minoxidil again only to see more hairs again on the pillows the next morning! Alarmed, I stopped using it until after 6 weeks. I gave it a try again a few days ago and noticed the same results on my pillows the next morning.
I know minoxidil is supposed to help but I'm not sure if it's doing more harm than good. I gave it 3 tries and now I'm thinking of completely stopping it. Has anyone else had a similar experience with minoxidil after their transplant?
