I read your other post, and I understand your concern. But your pdoc should know what he's talking about when he says lamictal doesn't cause hair loss. I would be much more suspicious of the extensions. I've been on lamictal for 18 months-- I'm up to 400 mg/day now-- and it has helped me tremendously. I wish you luck with this, but I wouldn't quit the lamictal until I had eliminated all other possible causes.

I've also been on lamictal and didn't have any hair loss.
Maybe you could read up on foods and Vitamins and minerals.

I just posted about this problem yesterday… I am having the same thing happen and think it's from the Lamictal.

Thanks... Yep I have feathery light hair, it's fine with my halo extension so I'm confused if I cut it, if extensions messed with it, or... Just thinning bc it doesn't really look like it fell out more just very thin and short.
