Minoxidil doesn't work for me anymore

After using Minoxidil 5% first my hair started growing significantly and everyone thought I was wearing a wig! but after 6 months I experienced severe hair loss and irritation. Then in 2 weeks I lost all my grown hair.  unfortunately after that minoxidil didn't work for me anymore! Now it's about 6 months that I've started using rogaine foam and the result is not bad but still I lose so much hair and no significant hair growth. I think my hair has become sensitive to minoxidil. I don't know how I can return to those hairy days . Has anyone had the same experience? any suggestion?
