Avonex and hair loss

[Ihb7337]

anyone out there experience hair loss while on avonex? I've only had three doses and have lost almost half of my hair. It's a good thing I usually have a mop for hair, but this is bothering me. On a grand scale, I guess it really isn't that improtant but it still has freaked me out

It is a reported side effect. Take a look here down the page to side effects. There are footnotes if you want to find the original research.

Yes, had quite a bit of hair loss! We were shocked when I went on Tsybari and I stopped losing it and our drains stopped getting plugged. I losted it in handfuls!
I think it is a side effect! But I have very thick hair so it just made mine thin out.

good luck
