Minoxidil Shed

I started topical minoxidil a month ago and the past two weeks I have lost a substantial amount of hair. I’ve lost about 1/3 of my overall hair. My scalp is becoming visible in places it wasn’t previously. I know shedding is part of the process but is it possible to shed too much? I’ve been taking biotin and I am starting a pumpkin oil supplement. Is there anything else I should start/stop doing? I’m regretting starting this process. My intention was to treat a receding/thinning hairline. This is so much worse.
I’ve attached photos of my shed today - post shower. It is like this every time. :(
