Thank You so much for the reply. Even i havent suffered with any shedding in my 3 weeks of continuous usage. But my question is that can only 3 weeks of use can cause any potential shedding if i quit? Or can quitting after 3 weeks of use make my hairs minoxidil dependent? Really concerned. Thank You.

Hi Bill, Thank You so much for the reply. Basically i have quite decent amount of hair but de to the thinning in frontal area i cant style the hairs in desired fashion. My dermatologist prescribed me Rogaine for 4 months, Used 3 weeks continuously but since i am in marketing field i cant afford to go though any cosmetic side effect even for small amount of time. Hence i decided to quit after 3 weeks of usage. So i heard that if you quit minoxidil it causes dread shed in you. But in my case i used it only for 3 weeks and hence just wanted to know whether 3 weeks of usage can cause any potential shedding in me? Or is 3 weeks of usage can make my hair minoxidil dependent? What do you think?

Please Help someone.

Hi Everyone, I am 23 years old and have started using minoxidil about 3 weeks ago due to the thinning in frontal area. After 3 weeks of continuous twice daily usage I noticed that I had no shedding at all. My hairs were as normal as they were before. I read about some side effects it can cause to your face and hence decided to stop using it. So my question is that will stopping minoxidil only after 3 weeks of usage and no shed will cause dread shed for me in near future? Is 3 weeks of usage too long to suffer a dread shed after quitting. Please help.
