I recently quit my entire hair loss regimen I had been trying for the past 1-1.5 years (Dutasteride, Finasteride, RU, Minoxidil 5%, Oral Min, Microneedling, supplements).
The entire time I was on this regimen I had massive shedding. I could not run my fingers through my hair without at least 2 or 3 falling out. The sink would be full of hair every single day as I still have thick enough hair to do that. Ironically, my hair while on this regimen was far superior to what I have just a few months off treatment, but my shedding has virtually stopped. I suspect the Minoxidil was the main culprit but I do not know for sure. I can say that the Minoxidil helped maintain my temples. I only have temple and hairline recession currently, no vertex balding.
I was warned of the potential dread sheds brought on by Fina or Min. My hair was much better even with the sheds. After quitting everything, my shedding virtually stopped. Hair doesn't come out in my hand nearly as often, however my hairline has receded even further and it has gotten much thinner. Don't be afraid of the shedding; my hair shed dramatically for over a year but still ended up better on treatment, and I am confident in that.
Trying to find a new regimen or a fix for the sides. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
