2.5 months on oral minoxidil. I don't think my shedding has stopped. Nor do I see any improvement whatsoever in my situation yet. Maybe it's too early. Or maybe, it's not working for me. No excessive body hair growth either. 

I'm going to give it at least another 3 months before taking a call. 

I don't think you should worry though. Shedding on switching medication is usually a positive sign. 1 month is too short a time to lose hairs due to stopping topical minoxidil, so it may be oral minoxidil induced shedding. Those hairs are likely to come back stronger

Thanks for sharing! Hope all works out for you
