Intolerance to hair loss (from T?)

I feel really disappointed because I've been noticing my hair falling out out of nowhere (without even touching my hair). To make things worse, they are the long ones from the root so this triggered a intense anxiety in me that I have to stop T. It's really a shame if it really is from T because I am already on a low dose. It was like a male's T range of 100... I thought this was good for me but I can't deal with this.
I already talked to my doctor about Finasteride but he said that it would affect the effects of T by diminishing them.  Is this really true?  Also, he didn't know of any transmen who took it but rather transwomen.  I guess that's why he disregarded it but I want to ask him again. Or is there something else that I can take so it doesn't affect T?


I already loose more than enough hair everyday (probably from stress) but it became very noticeable because I don't remember ever complaining about it falling anywhere without any contact to my hair. 

Could it also probably be because of me being very sensitive to medications in general that it affects me this way? 
I am male because I say so and nothing more.
I don't have to look or act like one therefore.

Topical (NOT ingested) saw palmetto is supposedly helpful without blocking the more commonly desired effects of DHT.

This series of articles might be of interest. http://americantransman.com/2010/04/12/beards-baldness-and-whats-in-your-pants/

As far as I know, the only way finasteride would diminish side-effects from testosterone is as far as body and facial hair is concerned - that could stop growing. Some hair loss is normal. I lost a good deal of hair for the first few months, especially as my hairline masculinized, but it stopped on its own. I have plenty of hair now. No signs of balding or additional thinning.

Thank you for the article, I will look into it and I actually would very much prefer my facial & body hair be off because I used to hated it having them even before T.
Also, do you think any other doctor (non transgender related) would be willing to prescribe the Finasteride or saw palmetto for me?

I wanted to edit my post to update being off of T and I am still having so much hair loss. I am really worried and I am maybe thinking that it wasn't from the T since I am already not taking it?  Could it be SOLELY from depression/anxiety or just plain negativity in general?
