Is Finasteride not working? Increased Shedding on Finasteride and minoxidil at month 2.5. Your experience with your patients?

iamjericho
I am undergoing a massive shed of 100+ hairs a day since 1 week. Earlier I used to shed 35-50 hairs a day. Is Finasteride not working for me? or Is the shed normal? I have been shedding not only thin hair but also THICK ones. Should I expect that the shed is normal and would stop with time? If yes then at what month?
