Has anyone experienced hair loss with Azathioprine? I can’t seem to get my rheumatologist to believe that my hair is falling out. I recently stopped taking meds because of a major surgery. Within one week of resuming Azathioprine, my hair was falling out in large amounts.

I’m on Methotrexate injections once a week. Every since I’ve been on it I brush my hair and I see literally lots of hair in the brush. I can’t wear anything black cause my hair just falls out on a sweater or top. My rheumatologist insist on me staying on the drug but I hate it. I really think it’s time to shop for a new rheumatologist. I know there has to be other drugs out there that don’t cause hair falling out. Has anyone else had this problem?
