M. tuberculosis strains with extensively drug resistant-TB (XDR-TB), that is resistant to either isoniazid or rifampicin (like MDR tuberculosis), any fluoroquinolone, and at least one of three second-line antituberculosis injectable drugs—i.e., capreomycin, kanamycin, and amikacin have also been reported

Gene Xpert will diagnose Rifampicin resistance. And it is a surrogate marker of INH resistance. Consult a Pulmonologist with the reports.

Dear,
It is fairly accurate and reliable Treatment is based on the test and further tests by microbial culture confirm the combination of drugs and duration.

There is no reason for you to continue Pyrazinamide so long. And why is there no isoniazid in the prescribed drugs. The regimen you using for to cure tb is not correct. It should contain rifampicin, isoniazid, Pyrazinamide and ethambutol for 2-3 months and later the drugs should be continued without Pyrazinamide only for 9 months at the most in total.
I don't understand the reason for 1.5 yrs of treatment. Even if it's bone tb the drugs should be for 1 year and without Pyrazinamide.

It should be non infective by now but may continue to be positive in montoux as antibodies have been formed already.

rifampicin ethambutol inh induced symptoms may be largely mitigated if these drugs are consumed at nighttime before going to bed

The doses of TB medications are according to body weight with a maximum recommended dose. Some times doses need to be modified as per kidney function test. I think you need to reconsult your doctor for doses as per body weight as per guideline.
