The hair cycle normally consists of growing, resting and falling hairs and there is a delicate balance between these stages of hair cycle. Normally hair should regrow but if it is not happening, you should consider seeing a dematologist.

Next Steps
Serious side effects with finasteride are extremely rare, meet a dermatologist to make you explain or you lose the best treatment option. There are other procedures for accelerating the results like a PRP.
