I'm quitting Minoxidil on account of no change after 6 months. If I stop now, will it make my hair fall out suddenly?

I am a female with AGA and have used minoxidil 5% for 6 months now and barely see a difference in the amount of hair I have . If I stop now, will it make my hair fall out suddenly?
