25 year old male with Norwood 2 recession - should I start Rogaine/Minoxidil?

Asked By:newdelhinewyork in New York, NY

I'm a 25 year old male with receded hairline (Norwood 2), with baldness on my mother's side of the family (father's side is fine). I wanted to start taking Rogaine but I heard stopping it can sometimes result in even more hair loss. I don't want to make a shitty thing worse. Are these just internet horror stories or is it really possible to lose more hair than you were when you stop it? My crown seems fine for now.
