Should I increase finasteride dose to every day instead of every other day to stop shedding? 4 months on it.

Advise101
on finasteride every other day for 4 months now and the results have been good. But, in the past month ive gone through a crazy shedding . Im wondering if increasing my dose to every day would stop my shedding and then once my hair stabilizes go back to every other day ? im not sure if this is just a seasonal shed ? ive been on minoxidil for years, LLLT for about 1 yr, and just got a transplant done 6 months ago ... got on fin 2 months after transplant because of shock loss was better till now
