I used minoxidil for over two weeks then stopped using it, now that I stopped I'm losing more hair than before, is it temporary?

i've been on Finastride for over 6 months now and the results were better than i imagined, i was losing no hair and actually regrowing some as i took picture every day. my doctor also gave me minoxidil and i had to stop after two weeks of use. Now that i stopped i'm losing more hair than ever. is it like temporary reaction? sex: male age: 19
