anyone taken xeljanz and stopped and kept hair?

hi everyone. i have been taking xeljanz xr 11mg time release once a day for the last 5 1/2 months. i FINALLY have my hair. i am so happy about it. my husband and i are planning to try and start a family in september, so i am going to stop taking xeljanz in august. i am so ready to be a mom, but i am also just now starting to feel normal again with having my hair back. has anyone stopped xeljanz and kept their hair? i know most people go back to losing their hair, but i am looking for someones hopeful story! =)     i was missing about 1/3 of my hair with spots everywhere, so it's characterized as "moderate" (my ass.....!!) anyways, anyone with some uplifting stories, or advice, it would be much appreciated. thanks everyone hope you're all having a great week!!!!!!

Hi Kara,

I stopped using xeljanz and my hair unfortunately fell off. I got off medication early in the year and in 2 months, almost half my hair fell off in one month period. I am now back on xeljanz (1 month in) and shedding has slowed down a bit but not sure if it'll grow back. I'll keep you posted on my progress but interested on hearing from you as well. I am thinking of having a baby in the next year and that is one of my concerns as well. Thanks!
