Severe dandruff, dry hair and hairfall

I am 24 yeard old and have been suffering with hair loss for the past 3 years. Initially, I took minoxidal topical soln (5.0%) and finasteride tablets (as recommended by the dermatologist) for about 2 years. But, it didn seem to work very well for me. I then tried with an homeopathic doctor, he suggested me Jaborandi tincture in coconut oil, natrum mur and one other medicine I cannot recall.
It did'nt work as well.
Currently, I am a patient with Dr.Batra's, they said it was a case of sabbhoeria, and I shud use anti-dandruff shampoo 3 times a week. They have given me some medicine, I don't know the name.
After shampoo, my hair becomes very very dry, it's grose to touch. They fall a lot. My scalp is always itchy, sticky, with kind of lumps of dandruff. Dr.Batras said that I shud not oil my scalp as my skin type is oily. I feel helpless. My hair strands are thick I guess,with good growth (in terms of length). I can see new hair coming, but the problem is, I am losing a lot of hair everyday.
Kindly suggest me something at the earliest. I cannot imagine a life without hair.
