Have been on pred since December 2024, started on 25 mg, now down to 3 mg. At first the same thing happened to me. Gobs of hair going out every time I shampooed or combed. It was so frustrating as I have always had a good head of hair. Then I bought an infra red hair comb device from Sharper Image, the infra red is supposed to wake up the follicles. You use it running through your scalp every other day. My hair is now almost back to normal. My husband who was receding from his forehead back to being downright shiny, has begun to sprout new hair where there hasn't been any in years.
