i experienced more shedding at 1 and half month. but i kept my short that time so it wasnt noticeable when it started growing back other hair that was thin also grew back same time so i appeared thicker now

Many patients do notice an initial shedding process but eventually do see some improvement or at least get back to where they started and hold it steady from that point on.

Just observe for a month or two more as what you are currently experiencing can be just the initial shedding from the treatment and if it doesn't improve, stop.

I'm on 5 month mark with miox 5% and my shedding has not improved. If all its getting worse. Has anyone also experienced this. I do see new hair but more than 100 strands a day in one wash.

Is it ok to stop using minoxidil? Say for instance coming off it over a year and each 3 months lowering the strength of it, until eventually you stop using it?

Why do you want to stop using it?

The average human loses 100-150 hairs a day, sometimes more, like 200[even if they don't suffer from MPB], and sometimes less. I wouldn't worry about losing 100 hairs a day.
Secondly, if you're not on fin you should get on it asap. Using a growth stimulant[minoxidil] without even using an androgen blocker is mostly useless. You'll regrow new hair with minox but they will still shed and be affected by MPB. Finasteride, slows down//stops MPB therefore you give minoxdil a better chance at working to it's full potential.
