Stop smoking cigarettes! It has been proven that cigarette smoking markedly increases hair loss and DHT levels. Stop smoking pot! It is a known depressant and is bad for you if you smoke on a regular basis.
Shedding on minoxidil is very common in he beginning so you just have to wait it out.
Are you seeing a doctor?

I found that whenever I exceeded 5% minoxidil I started shedding a lot.

I've heard that the maximum efficiency is 4% anyway, anything else and you are just begging for sides.

IMO your regimen is too strong.

Weed causes depression and anxiety, so can fin/duasteride.

Be careful with your regiment. Starting with lower dosages is better. U are still young and don't realize how the sides can ruin your life and make it all worse. The sides from these drugs are creepy to say the least.

Read rotsen's story and see his success on 1/6th pill of fin and a good keta/sali shampoo:

Hope this helps.

Good luck with everything and I hope you get your life in a place where you can be happy and confident.
