The shed after quitting minoxidil
Around 4-5 months ago, I quit minoxidil after nearly two years of use. I had some decent gains, but the topical solution drove my sculp insane; dandruff, inflation, itching, all of the likes. I used finnasteride for the entire duration, but have switched to dutasteride since then.
Of course, I expected an aggressive shed upon quitting minoxidil, however, it doesn't seem to have ceased even months later. My hope was that within 2-3 months, the shedding would end, and the follicles I had been protecting with DHT blockers would eventually return to baseline. It seems to be steadily worsening compared to when I began medication.
The problem is, that I can't discern whether or not this is still the aftermath of quitting min, or if I'm just a none responder to these DHT blockers and I'm utterly fucked.
I cannot find much information pertaining to this subject; particularly how long it can take for shedding to stabilize after quitting min. I'm wondering if anyone else has been through a similar experience, or just happens to have any insight on the topic?
