Big 3 non stop shedding, help
My story:
Im 19 been balding since i was 17.
First started minox a little over 2 years ago and used it 1x per day
10 month ago I started fin 5mg every 5 days and after a 1month break from it uped minox to 2x per day.
Also about 5 months ago i added retin a to the temples 1x per day
2 months ago due to lack of results I decided to go back to minox 1x per day and do the standart 1.25mg fin ED(although 5mg every 5 days is supposed to be the same).
Results:
2 YEARS AGO - While only on minoxidil I lost a lot of hair from thick nw1 with LITTLE thinning on the right temple to diffuse NW2.5
10 MONTHS AGO - In month 3 to 6 my shedding when down by a lot and got a few little hairs on my left temple. Ever since month 7 shedding has picked back up and now im shedding like hell. I had some regrowth in my left temple which is now gone.
-----
Questions:
Ive been shedding for like 3 months in a row but this last month has been terrible my temples are a lot thinner
Is this because of the different fin dosage i am now using?
Is this a normal shed or should i do something about it?
Retin a some times made my temples red so now i am only using it EOD, is this ok?
Im now clinically depressed and my doctor prescribed me luvox, can this have any affect on my hair? Zoloft made me lose some hair
Any help will be appreciated

Retin-A can supposedly thicken hair follicles, however, it can also cause inflammation, which leads to hair loss. Given this risk, I decided against using it and I would advise you to do the same.
Very sorry to hear that you are depressed. Would you say that hair loss is the primary cause of your depression currently? I also suffered from hair loss starting at the age of 17, and so I'm aware that it can be stressful.
As for Luvox potentially causing hair loss, I don't know.
It sounds as though your hair loss regimen thus far has been largely unsuccessful. Are you sure that you have androgenic alopecia and not some other form of hair loss?
