Took finasteride for 3 weeks then quit due to side effects, had significant shedding, will the hair regrow?

I took finasteride for exactly 19 days and then quit due to sexual side effects. I got my dht levels tested prior and apparently it wasn't that high. Im 24, have thinning in the crown and front of my hairline, and i lost a good 20% of my density from the shed that occurred during and after my short term usage of finasteride. Will the hair regrow? Did I make things worse? I figured it would be better to cut my losses early than continue using it for months to find the side effects don't dissipate.
