TB treatment should never be taken irregularly foe fear of developing drug resistant TB which is very difficult to treat. Now that you have stopped taking RHE-FD, you cannot restart it on your own. You need to consult a chest specialist who will examine you and decide weather you have active disease and do you need the treatment for it.
