	» My doctor and derm recommend I try minoxidil, I say Im too afraid because » of the dread shed, they both deny this happens? Do some reading in the archives, it happens to the majority of people. I don't know why docs deny it. I'm using it and had the dread shed but it wasn't too awfully bad, lasted for a couple of weeks I think. It lasts longer for others, everyone is different. I've had mixed results as I have many health issues that contribute to my hl problem so I'm not the best to advise. Deb Deb is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO

	Mine lasted for 2-3 weeks and tapered off. I am using rhe 5% spray at the moment. I am planning on switching to the 5% foam (which is meant to be more effective), and therefore expecting a further dread shed. Sadie is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO

	That's crazy your docs would say it didn't happen....even the company that makes Rogaine states that there is usually an increase in loss. V is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO

	» My doctor and derm recommend I try minoxidil, I say Im too afraid because » of the dread shed, they both deny this happens? If you call a Rogaine rep (via their 800#) they will even tell you to expect more hairloss...for at least 4-8 weeks. Its even on the box I think. Tell that to your doctors! ginawat is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO
