Who has experienced Hypoandrogenicity? Im freaking out...

Seriously

I just read this

Shedding
Shedding is a term given to an excessive amount of hair being lost at once. While this is a very unpleasant experience, it is actually a very good sign and indication that the Propecia is working. Shedding occurs when many follicles are put back into the growth cycle at the same time. When a hair enters the anagen or growth phase the first thing that happens is the old hair is pushed out by the new hair that is starting to grow. Shedding usually occurs after about 12 weeks of treatment and lasts for around 4-6 weeks. After this initial shedding phase has occurred most men experience fewer and fewer of these and most often they go largely unnoticed. If you are going though a shed phase do not panic as it will most likely slow down and stop after a few weeks. If you experienced an increased amount of hair loss almost immediately after taking Propecia it is likely that you are experiencing a hypoandrogenic effect and not a shed. If this is that case then you should see a physician about possibly discontinuing the drug.

My hair has got noticably worse since a few weeks into treatment. Im shedding more hair than i ever have - i didn't used to really shed much, just thin generally.

Also, i THINK my skin has become more oily another somethine that wouldn't be expected to happen.

I was half content to see myself shed as it supposedly means you are responding but after reading the above - 12 weeks? I've only been on it 7 weeks now and been shedding from week 3 or 4 im pretty sure.

What to do guys? Its unthinkable that im making my hair worse and worse and making my accerlerating my hairloss
