Hair Loss from Prednisone

My hair was falling out for months and I was on Plaquenil. When I stopped taking it my hair stopped falling out. I am on 5 mg prednisone. I don’t believe it is the disease causing hair loss. Maybe it is another drug you are taking.

It may not be the prednisone, it certainly doesn’t help! But I’m on thyroid medication and my estrogen has dropped since I had to stop hormones after 10 years—I did have nice hair on the hormones, but they are too risky to take for too long! ☹️
