The consequences of stopping Minoxidil?

dzirafko123456
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?
