Amongst the other questons I've bombarded you with on Topamax, I haven't been able to find on the "net" any info in regards to thinning of hair while on Topamax. Like Depakote, does Topamax cause hair to thin? Since I've gotten up to 100mg's of the Top I've noticed my hair starting to "shed" more than before reminscent of my Depakote days, I've heard that about Lithium, but all this time did not notice any abnormal amounts of loss, plus I am presently on a lower dose of Lithium now, we went from 900mg to 600mg (I am thinking I may need to go back, I see a downward shift in mood, now I can see why my doc was hesitant in listening to my plead to reduce my dose (weight issue) The bright side at least I know Lithium does work for my moods, not great for energy and weight, but very mellowing Any way do you think it is just a "summer shed" like my Molly (my dog is really shedding right now) or maybe the Topamax can be like Depakote and contribute to hair thinning?? I am sorry to be such a nudge, but you can imagine being a woman and having to be on these meds that "tamper" with the things our men pay most attention to, our hair and our shapes, at least that is what you guys make us think, ha!ha! Such added pressure, ha!ha! Thanks Cam, for what ever info you can get.
