should I use PropeciaFfinasteride after hair transplant due to shock loss on recipient and donor?

Advise101
early 20s, FUT 2 months ago, been on minoxidil, Nizoral, and a LLT device before that . have not wanted to use finasteride because of the side effects. my cousin had sides. i wanted to see the results of the transplant it self. HOWEVER, since i got the transplant ive shed the hair that i had before on top and on the donor (only on the left side, i have a patch about the side of a quarter ). seems to be getting worst? its still shedding, my question is if i add finasteride will that help ?
