Has anyone else experienced massive hair loss from taking Humira?

My hair seems to fall out in cycles; it will continuously fall out for 3-6 months then stop for a short period of time.  The longest I have gone WITHOUT losing my hair is 4 months, but it is generally a weekly issue.  I believe it also happend while taking Enbrel, but to a lesser degree.  Is there any biologic drug that WONT make my hair fall out?

I haven't experienced this myself and having heard much about it before - try asking the question again in a SharePost as they often get more traffic than the individual questions in this section. You may also want to talk to your doctor about getting B12 shots as that can help with hair loss.

I have been on humira for 2 years and I also experience hair loss. I was on enbrel for 8 years and had some hair loss but not as much as on humira.
