Hair loss

So I recently started back on azathioprine after I just stopped taking it and I've now been on it about 2 weeks and I've notice that when I put my hand through my hair or brush my hair, a fairly bit of hair comes out.
It's really scares me as I don't want to go bald.

Hi poorlygirl, you won't go bald. Google "telogen effluvium", which will explain what is happening.

Best wishes.
