Hair loss hasn’t stopped from Acyclovir, how long does it take?

I stopped taking Famcyclovir about 6 weeks ago due to severe hair loss. It hasn’t stopped (though most of the time it seems to have slowed). How long does it take for my hair to stop falling out from this?

This case report says by 3 months, it was totally resolved - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3959052/

Were you taking acyclovir or famvir? You mention acyclovir in the title, but famvir in your post text.
