From what i'v read about Rogaine, you will shred hair the first few months you take it.
It takes like 6 to 9 months to see if any hair grows.
In your situation i would stop taking it.
I'v read stories how people take Rogaine and it didn't work.
They just shred hair.
In most cases the hair will grow back.
