methotrexate concerns continued
Posted , 10 users are following.
I heard everyone talking about drinking but no one elaborated on the hair loss situation. Do people typically lose a significant amount of hair? Is it bad enough that you need a wig or hat at all times? Does it eventually grow back or as long as you take methotrexate you lose hair? As far as the drinking goes my doctor point blank said do not drink at all. I am only on my second dose so I'm sure I will learn lots of more info about this drug along the way.

I have been taking methotrexate for 2 years now. Currently my dosage is 15mg and I have no hair lose although I was taking 25mg for a couple of months and did notice some thinning of my hair but only very minor. My hair has returned to normal on the lower dosage. As for alcohol. I was advised not to drink and have been told by several people that they have been sick and suffered with severe hangovers. Hope this helps.

I stopped taking Pred in October, after 3 years
As for alcohol, I too was told not to drink. I went off it anyway and the smell makes me feel ill!
And! Recently, my liver enzymes have decided to develop a life of their own, which is another good reason not to drink.

I've had slight hair loss but nothing enough to notice. Just seems to come out in the brush a bit more than normal.
It certainly won't be bad enough to wear a wig. Only I notice mine in the plug hole and brush. No one else.
I really wouldn't worry about it.
Hope all goes well
Jo
