Anyone Experienced Post Minoxidil Shedding?

I've been using dutasteride 0.5mg ED for two years and stopped using minoxidil 5% 5 months ago after taking it for several years, because I always felt topical minoxidil did nothing to my hair.
My status remained stable 2 months after I stopped using minoxidil, but from the third month a huge shedding started that I had never had before.
I'm still taking dutasteride 0.5mg ED, but have now also added oral minoxidil 10mg (5mg twice a day).
The shedding hasn't stopped yet and I wonder if I should start the topical minoxidil again.

Has anyone else experienced the same?
Does the hair grow back again?

I read different opinions on this dilemma and don't know what seems to be the right way.

The hair you shed because you quit minoxidil should come back, granted that they were not a product of minoxidil and if that's the case, the hair won't come back.
