Shock loss using Minoxidil foam

Has anyone on here suffered permanent shock loss after using minoxidil based substances? I tried the foam for 6 months applying it twice per day, morning and night. 4 weeks into the regime I began shedding hair like crazy, it looked worse than it did prior, I stuck with it thinking this was the initial shed I'd read about proving its effectiveness. Problem was the shedding continued throughout my usage of the stuff. Finally I had to quit as it was having an adverse effect on my hair, after quitting my hair recovered to some degree, although there is still a noticeable difference. The foam definitely accelerated my hair loss, now I'm unsure if I'd be comfortable trying anything else. I don't want to lose more hair when the purpose of these products is to prevent it. Has anyone else experienced this type of shock loss?

I've heard of miniaturised hair that's on its way out speeded up by minoxidil. If you then don't respond to minoxidil the hairs are gone, usually for good.
