Minoxidil doesn't maintain hair.

Only hair grown with minoxidil is dependant on minoxidil.

minoxidil won’t maintain hair grown by finasteride, so if you stop finasteride and start minoxidil, you’ll loose the hair you’ve grown/maintained with finasteride.

You could try a lower dose of finasteride, or give Avodart a try.
