9 months on finasteride no results

[Squatch]

hi guys,
its been 9 months since i started finasteride. at first i was taking 1mg for 8 months and just recently started taking 1.25mg for obvious reasons. My hair has continued to slowly thin at the temples and is doing so at a steady rate. so far finasteride hasn't had any obvious impact on my hairline. After 3 months I stopped shedding completely but start back again at month 6, so I started nizoral aswell. this shed is still occuring but isnt as bad as when it first started. So my question is, Do you think I still have a good chance to have a good response to finasteride or should keep my hopes down? Should I also start minoxidil to halt further thinning in m hairline? Or should I wait another 3-4 months?
Cheers,
Tom.
