Is My Hair Loss from Switching to a Single Minoxidil Dose Daily… Or Stress?

Doctor..

Thanks for keeping an archive.. It’s a treasure chest of info.

I had a couple of months were I was taking care of a sick family member and missed a minox application usually at night.. so I was down most days to just one application.. maybe 6 weeks. Had a lot of loss the last 5 or 6 weeks. I’m guessing since minoxidil is dose dependent there’s going to be loss from twice to once a day application. Also I switched to an online source that supposedly took over for Dr. Lee’s products. Which like Dr. Lee, is now out of business also. So It could have been a possible scam with phoney products. I needed a non PG formula.. though even the Rogaine foam is a problem..

I’m wondering if the loss is due to twice to once a day application for some weeks. The stress and lack or sleep in being a caretaker.. or could it be Minoxidil Solutions LLC was just a scam. In which case maybe some of your readers may have had the same result and offer a comment.

Thanks for being a “reliable” place to turn for the hair loss community.

You have suggested the many reasons why you experienced the hair loss. I can not tell you which is more possible than the other.

It could be from changing the dosing, or it could be from bad medication (I don’t know if it was indeed a scam), or it could be from stress… or it could be a combination of it all.
