I did use Minoxidil for 6 months (get very good result, but side effects for long term 40 years of use must be bad) then stopped and it looks that I lose even more hairs than before I started to use it. So is this normal to lose more after stopping?

Answer: Minoxidil discontinuation Minoxidil forces your follicles into a growth phase, and when the signal is gone from your body, normal physiology takes over and those hairs will shed. It is possible that those follicles enter a phase referred to as early release anagen phase due to minoxidil cessation and some will come back 2-6 months after discontinuation. However, for overall preventative measures, normal hair physiology will take over.

Answer: Minoxidil When you build minoxidil dependent hairs and then stop the minoxidil, then the hairs that are dependent upon the minoxidil will be lost. Long term use of minoxidil is not a problem if it works as well as it did on you. You might try it again
