Is anyone else hesitant using Rogaine?

My hair is really getting thinner in the front and on the crown. I never had really nice thick hair to begin with. My mother and grandmother also had these issues as they approached 50. I have not gone through menopause yet (I'm 49), and worry it is going to get even worse. I go back and forth with myself on starting Rogaine. I hate the idea of starting on a drug, and continuing it forever. I saw a dermatologist and she is the one who suggested it

I also worry about possible side effects that might be discovered down the road.

This morning after washing my hair, I was so discouraged...any suggestions? Ladies who use Rogaine (or the generic) are you glad you started.

Thanks, and sorry this is so long.
