I used topical for 2 years and at first the results were great for the first year or so then sort of started to not do much at all.
i went to a dermatologist for the first time and told me to use Finasteride 1mg and oral Minoxidil 0.5mg
this was about 4 and a half months ago, i held off on the finasteride till about 2 months ago as i feared for side effects. ( luckily i haven't noticed any, i started on 1 tablet every second day and now doing one everyday, also i got my testosterone checked and its in the normal range)
I have noticed since i have been on the oral Minoxidil my hair has fallen out so far to the point i cannot hide it anymore, everything is so thin.
I genuinely cannot tell if its just a "shed" that's meant to all come back thicker, or its accelerated my hair loss.
My question is if i switch back to the topical minoxidil am i going to go through another shed from hell? or am i kinda stuck with oral minoxidil now until i shave it all off?
