I wanted to ask everyone what they thought about starting up minoxidil again. I used to use the stuff for about 1.5 years with very good results and I stopped using 2 months pre-op. I haven't used the stuff now for 6 months total and I've been told that my thinning might be due 1 of 3 things:
#1 minoxidil dependent hair dissappearing. The reason I didn't want to start up again was b/c of annoyance of use and also I didn't want the transplanted hairs to become minoxidil dependent and have to use the stuff for the rest of my life....
#2 Avodart shed
#3 shockloss from the surgery
or a combination of the 3

But if its true that my thinness is due to minoxidil dependent hairs dying than I'd def. be willing to start up again to try to salvage any of those dying hairs or at least speed up the growth of my grafts.
Do you guys think I should start it up? The rogaine foam looks promising. Remember I havnen't used minoxidil for 6 months now...should I start up right away or give the grafts some time to kick in? Any comments suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks again everyone who's dropped me line and for listening to my story.
