I started Topamax the end of October and I have finally worked my way up to 175 mgs twice a day on Topamax and am about to increase to 200 2x per day and I am really noticing the hair loss and thinning to a point where I may have to stop. Has anyone noticed the increased hair loss with increased dosage?
Is this a "start up" side effect to increasing dosage? This is a question for long term Topamax users - does the hair loss stop after you have been on Topamax at the higher does or does it continue on???Like for example --- I was on Acutance for a long time which had some terrible side effects (like thinning hair, red eyes, headaches,) but there all were just in the beginning and then went away and it was a miracle drug.
Other than the hair loss, slowly working my way up to the 200 mgs has been a breeze!! No problems at all! Please post your experiences, thanks in advance!
