MINOXIDIL WITHDRAWAL

2021-08-08 13:21:37
I'VE STARTED USING MINOXIDIL FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS (3 WEEKS) SUGGESTED BY MY DERMATOLOGIST. BUT AFTER READING AT THE SIDE EFFECTS AND THAT ONE HAS TO USE IT FOR LIFE HAS MADE ME RETHINK. I WANT TO IMPROVE MY HAIR BY BRINGING A CHANGE IN MY LIFESTYLE AND STRESS LEVELS AND NOT FROM BEING DEPENDENT ON MEDICINES LIKE THIS. PLEASE SUGGEST THE RIGHT WAY TO DO MINOXIDIL WITHDRAWAL WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND EXCESSIVE HAIRLOSS. SHOULD I SLOWLY LOWER THE USAGE FROM TWICE A DAY TO ONCE A DAY TO ALTERNATE OR IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY? ALSO ANY SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD GOOD FOR HAIR HEALTH AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANK YOU CONCERNED COLLEGE STUDENT
