Microneedling without finasteride, is this OK?

I have decided to start microneedling but I do not want to use minoxidil or finasteride. I am very worried about the possible side effects and also, I heard that once I stop taking them, hair fall is going to begin again. Finasteride is a definite no no for me, as I used to suffer from depression and anxiety and I am not willing to experiment with it again. So should I bother to start microneedling without these? Is it worth my time, effort and money?

The report indicate the adding minoxidil to microneedling is better than microneedling alone.
