Anyone else having hair loss issues with tecfidera? I am on that and Zoloft and my hair is thinning and I have to clean my drain twice during a shower. It's falling out in handfuls. Suggestions? Advice?

try dandruff shampoo with zinc use it every time you shampoo. I used to be a hairdresser. Run cold water on your head for final rinse.
