Hair loss and Topamax

[QusieSue]

I have been prescribed Wellbutrin for depression and Topamax as a mood stabilizer.  The combination worked very well for me and the bonus was that I lost weight.  However, I also lost hair.  I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same problem.

I just recently went off Topomax cold turkey because I was noticing hair loss.  I was on it for a little over a year taking 50mg 2x a day.  My migraines have been manageable.  I take motrin 600mg at onset of a headache and it goes away fast.  As for the hair loss, I am not taking 15000mcg biotin in addition to a woman's multi vitamin and extra vitamin e and Co q10.  I'm hoping my hair will be restored!

I have been on 200mg a day, 100 am and 100 pm, for a year and have not had any hair loss. Do you think it is the amount of Mg that you are on that is making you loose your hair? I have noticed on here that most people that say they are on 300 or 400mg. Im nervous to loose my hair and I'm wondering if i should stop the medication. Would I have had hair loss already?

I'm 53  and am on 100 mg. of Topamax daily.  I also had thick hair all my life up until about 5 years ago when I was pre-menopausal. I began losing hair slowly and friends started noticing bald spots on top of my head.  I was horrified!  So I totally relate to all of you ladies!  
I was not on Topamax at that time of any other drug that caused this.  I know genetically my grandmother and mother had thinning hair later in their lives.  Bummer.  I also am a type A personality and stress a lot.  I didn't eat right.   Didn't take many vitamins.  Don't get me wrong, but I' ve been seeing a dermatologist for this hair loss for years now.  He's done blood tests for everything from thyroid (negative), to lupus (which also can cause hair loss) and nothing but genetic and post-menopausal issues are to blame.  It happens with age ladies.  I'm trying to take lots of vitamins, like everybody is saying, biotin, prenatal multis, B-6, etc., eat well, protein, get a GOOD haircut and color to accentuate the positive, and do what we can.  I'm so sorry for the younger girls, especially.  It's hard enough on us ladies who are stuggling when we're a littler older  Good luck everybody....

HI ive been taking 75 mg of topamax for over 3 yrs and I had really really thick hair as well and was told my hair loss was due to my 3rd stage kidney disease then when I got diabetes that it was due to that. Now im getting really bad bouts of vertigo was well and I think it due to Topamax as well. So I just emailed my Dr. that I want to get off it ASAP.
