Hypothetically, Will Potent Topicals/Internals While On Fin Decrease Shedding From Post Fin Shedding?

I'm in no way advcating the use of finasteride because it is extremely dangerous drug and no one should do it, but was very curious about this.

If you were on finasteride and experienced a decrease of hair loss, and while on finasteride, you used potent topicals (stuff like ACV, coconut oil, emu oil, etc etc) and let's say that the topicals were actually helping your hair loss, do you think that will help you to combat the DHT uproar and shedding that will occur when you discontinue finasteride usage?

If you are not familiar with what I'm talking about, typically when someone comes off finasteride or duasteride, they will experience massive shedding period when their hair loss super accelerates. (i'm guessing because DHT is now back with much higher amounts, not sure though, read something about receptors working again)

Curious to hear from people that have experience with understanding DHT...

here's a thread on someone talking abuot coming off dut if your curious to read more into it: https://immortalhair.forumotion.com/t865-coming-off-dutasteride

Besides topicals, other things also like circum/reservatrol, r-lipoic acid, biotin, other internals, etc

I am curious if people should "prepare" ahead of time before quitting maybe a month to stop the shed?

Or what the best ways to combat the shed?

my understanding was that with fin or dut you return to where you were prior to using them. they shouldnt accelerate your loss by coming off of them. its usually the minox that accelerates your loss when you discontinue. tho if you continued with a natural antiandrogen and you were experiencing the shed as a result of coming off i think it should mitigate your loss. were i you i would try a topical antiandrogen, and i would put that oregno oil or one similar on the scalp. thyme oil wont cause the rash that oregano causes.

on the life extension forums a guy lists lots of herbs which from in vitro studies have shown antiandrogenic capabilities and he links to the study for each one.

ill show it to you when i find it it again. he also tells how to make extracts.
