Why am I experiencing shedding after 6 months minoxidil use?

Asked By:Tooshyfortherealname in Indianapolis, IN

Hi, I've been using Minoxidil since October 2016 and after January I started seeing the result. I got back almost everything that I had lost and it was going great. However for the last two weeks I'm losing hair rapidly. I see strands on my pillow, when I shower, or even when I style my hair. I never stopped using minoxidil and I use it twice regularly. I got a new product with finasteride in it yesterday since I couldn't find the product I always use. Can someone help me?
