Thinking of going on a 2 month fin and min break. What are the risks?

[tressful11]

Fin (and later Dutasteride) as well as minox didn't really slow down the progress of hairloss for me. 
Right now I am taking Dutasteride daily and applying topical minox daily.

I am thinking of going on a month long or 2 month long break from the meds and then switch back to fin from dutasteride after the break. 

What are risks associated with such breaks? Will I lose hair irreversibly?

I don't know if it's really a thing but my thought is that I need to flush my system of all the medicines and start again. Maybe a stupid idea but worth trying if risks are low?

I've heard of stories where people lost their hair after stopping medications (more so for Mintop than Fin), but I suppose you can get topical Dutasteride - that seems to be in demand right now and much safer than Finesteride also. 

I am considering getting something along the same lines.

Also man, why Finasteride? From your pictures I don't see you bald at all (I know you have problems with your donor). 

I wouldn't be on medications in my 20s if I don't have notice severe balding. This is what I was advised by top doctors in India too.

@tressful11 if you stop Finasteride for 2 months you will lose all benefits you have achieved during the time you have taken this drug. Be prepared for irreversible shock-loss.

Up to 1 month it should be safe

Nothing should happen.
you will lose some hair and will get it back when you'll go back to your medications.

 This is completely non- sense.
to. say that medications do not work for you, you should know how fast was your hair loss progression without taking fin and minoxidil.
By the other way, If meds do not work for you, why are you concerned to stop taking ?

that said, you should go into deeper details:
how old are you?
how bald are you?
What about your family?
how long have you stayed on meds?
