Anyone experienced hair loss while taking or tapering Prednisone?

I was on low dose prednisone for 5 days, and now 8 weeks after the last dose my hair is falling out like crazy—like 50+ strands a day. It’s quite scary, I’m taking biotin and it’s not stopping the fallout.

@vt23 unfortunately I had to take prednisone for almost 2 years dosing from 50 mg down to five. I’m now on Actemra. When I was off the prednisone, my hair fell out in large clumps. It took approximately three months for my hair to start growing again, but thankfully, it is coming in nicely now.
