Has anyone found anything that helps with medication related hair loss?

I'm currently on arava and I'm losing massive amounts of hair and have been for about the past 2 months. I really dont want to switch medications as it's really helping with the pain. However, the hair loss is starting to get REALLY bad.

I started taking a biotin/keratin supplement in hopes it will help. I'll ask my Dr about the folic acid. He had me on it when I was taking methotrexate but took me off when I switched to the arava.

I take a prescribed Folic Acid and Biotin hair, skin, and nails supplement daily. Has helped a lot.
