Shedding itself is a good sign because the hairs are cycling through the phases of growth. There is not rule of thumb on how you will repsond. You will need about 8 months to a year but using the BIG three is the best strategy available as far as proven treatments.

You're not going to necessary know if you are a good responder at 8 weeks. It can take 6-12 months to see results. But, since the meds are cost effective, there is no reason not to stick it out (except side effects, of course).
