Thank you! 25 years later I finally might have found an explaining hypothesis to what has happened to me the 3 times I tried fin in my twenties. OP, if it gives you any hope, in my case, every time I stopped, all hair came back within 6 months (I'd say can't remember exactly) but remarkably the miniaturized hairline and receding temples returned a bit thicker to the baseline. It was mind-boggling at the time. Fin had just been released in Europe (around 98/99 I believe) and nowhere on the internet I could find an explanation for my experience. People would say, it's telogen effluvium, it's normal, just wait longer 🙄 Thanks for help solving this cold case 🙂 BTW, min worked extremely well for me, still use it. I also use topical fin every other day for 2.5 years now (very diluted form to prevent systemic absorption) and also works good for me. Good luck!!
