My Opinion and personal account (ask a doctor, ideally):
Continue!
I take oral minoxidil. I had massive shedding for perhaps the first 4 months. May have even been up to 5 months.
I'd rub my hair firmly (no scratching) and maybe 50 hairs would fall out after 15 seconds of rubbing
Used to do it over A4 sheets of paper at work. Would see loads of hairs, which went notably thinner towards the root. It was a bit scary, looking back.
Nowadays, perhaps 5 hairs fall out when doing this.
I was also shedding thick healthy hair. The hair was thinner towards the root, so I assume there was hair underneath taking the nutrients and it was ready to pop through (my basic science of the hair cycle. Shedded hair - club hair, and the new hair pops through a few months later. It;s more complicated than this, but yeah)
Was scary. But my hair was gonna go anyway. I had no option, really.
9 months later. the difference is massive. Thick, dark, root-like hair. Density has increased about 20-30% I'd say, thanks to thicker hair growing in. This could overall postpone my next transplant on the back region by years, perhaps.
Power through, you haven't been on it long enough. And if you don't, it's gonna fall out anyway, so what's to lose?
