10 months on minoxidil with no results - safe to quit?
I've been using minoxidil foam for almost 10 months, with no visible results - in fact, my hair loss continued to slowly get worse. So I would like to ditch it altogether, and in theory this shouldn't cause the usual shedding of the regrown hair since I never regrew anything to begin with. But still there's this fear that some of the hair I have right now is "minoxidil-dependent". Is this how it works? Has anyone here been in a similar situation?
Any advice would be appreciated.

I give everything 3-6 months before quitting it if I see no results.
Yes, quit it.
Yes, quit it.

1 ) Taking niacin
carnitine
and l-citrulline (for nitric oxide)
may mimic minoxidil internally.
2 ) Apple polyphenols allegedly work twice as well as minoxidil.

But it is dubious

Citrulline is the better version of arginine.
However they do the same thing.

I would *never* take minoxidil, ever.
Why? There are natural alternatives and mainly two really good reasons:
1) It ages the face (this in addition to all of the other side-effects that are not desired).
2) It has a low efficacy and also, once a person quits, there is that dreaded minoxidil dependent hair shed (don't worry, it will return).

Thanks for the replies.
I've been considering trying niacin for a minute. Will this product do: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Niacin-Country-Life-500mg-/181508474087?pt=US_Dietary_Supplements_Nutrition&hash=item2a42bf84e7 ?
