I'm taking generic imuran and I've noticed that I'm losing hair! I've been taking it for 3 months (150mg). I haven't noticed any bald spots, but my hands are covered with hair when I shampoo and I'm finding strands of my hair everywhere!

Anyone else experience this problem?

Yep, it's a common side effect. I am on 6mp which is similiar to Imuran. Around the 2-3 month mark I started losing hair as well. I have thick hair anyway so it didn't matter to me that I lost some. But after my body got used to the med, the hair loss stopped.

Same exact thing with me. Lots of hair loss when I started, but it has slowed way down. I'm still losing, but at a much slower rate. I also have thick hair so I'm not too affected.
