Does using Minoxidil on beard work and will the beard stay after discontinuing the use?

truthisbitterbutsweet
I am 25 years old with no beard hair. I have 380 ng/dl of T, so on lower side but docs say its normal. So I really want to use minoxidil to grow a beard but I also dont want to keep using it for my entire life if the beard hair will fall out after stopping the use of minoxidil after the beard is there. Also just in case what are long term side effects, say like 2-3 years of use? Thank you, much appreciate the answer.
