Dut/Fin without minoxidil? Any success stories?

Unfortunately i have bad sides from min. Puffy face/swollen eye bags very noticeable by everyone around me enough to have pointed it out. Not to mention the palpitations which arent too bad, but a bit scary since its a regular occurrence.

And no, its not my lifestyle. I drink a ton of water daily matter of fact all i drink is water 99% of the time, i get 7 hrs of sleep minimum nightly, my diet is relatively clean, and i work out 4 days per week minimum. Not to mention i recently lost 15lbs and my face did not change at all.

With that said, i have no choice but to drop min. Ive taken both topical and oral, same results.

I have been on dut this whole time and can say it definitely halted loss, and while i did regrow hair, its likely that the regrowth was 100% min.

Is there absolutely any possibility for me to keep my regrowth gains if i stop min cold turkey? Something like even if the regrowth was caused by min, the continued use of DHT inhibitors will keep also those hairs from shedding?

Am i cooked? Any alternatives to minox??
