Asked By:Mellifluos72 in Arkansas, AR

Used Rogaine Women 5% foam for 1 year for FPHL. Quit this December w/o tapering off of it. My shed was high at 100+ and worsened in June 2017. I didn't see new growth and had bags and puffy eyes. These subsided after a few weeks of no Rogaine. Shed is now 250 a day when wash and style. I lose about about 100+ otherwise. I have low bp and can't take Spiro. I don't know if I am already experiencing shed from going off Rogaine or if it will get worse at 3 month point or more.Get back on it?
