You may be suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding  from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised  and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting.

For me to answer that , I first need to know the names of the medication. Generally it is best  advised to consult the same doctor whether to halt or continue the present treatment plan or regimen. if the medication that was prescribed was biotin tablets, they can taken for a period of 6 months. if the medication is tablet finasteride , u need to do regular follow ups with the doctor for examination of results or any unwanted side effects . The spray , if minoxidil,  should be continued, as sudden withdrawal could cause rebound hair loss and hair thinning.
Next Steps
if, the present treatment plan is not giving expected results, you could opt for PRP injections of scalp, this to be done in thinning areas . for complete bald area, you can try hair transplant.
Health Tips
avoid junk food. drink adequate water. avoid hair oils which contain mineral oil weekly head massage helps in strengthening the roots. treat for dandruff, if present
