    Rogaine shedding even while on finasteride??

    Hello there... new to the forums here and had a couple of questions, hopefully someone here can help me out!
    I have been on finasteride for about a year or two and was considering starting to use
    rogaine foam along with the finasteride for maximum effects, and was wondering if I would still experience the shedding stage of the rogaine effects? I am already fairly thin up top and summer is here so i would hate if even more of my scalp would show, It would just depress me even more then I already am! If anyone has went thru this and knows the answer, please let me know!
    I tried calling the rogaine company but they said they would not be able to know for sure on what would happen in this situation.
    sorry if this question has already been asked...

    Thank you

    I've been on fin for 8 months and started Rogaine foam for 2 weeks and shed like a maniac..

    I stopped it about 2 weeks ago

    My hair thinned out so bad, I just put a bit of wax in my hair 5 min ago and i counted 25 hairs on my hand and in the sink.
