7 months on Finasteride. Still shedding at 100 -150 hairs/day. Is finasteride not working?

The shedding decreased at around the 5-6 month but has once again increased to above 100 hairs/day. Have your patients experienced the same.? How long should I wait before concluding finasteride is not working. NEED REASSURANCE ON FINASTERIDE.
