Hi There!
What are you all doing for hair loss associated with the use of Topomax? I am currently taking 300mg. a day for migraines and have been for almost 4 years with tremendous success having been a sufferer for nearly 10 years. However, my once very thick hair has consistently been coming out in droves over this same period I have noticed not always in clumps, but nevertheless coming out.
I am considering discontinuing the use of Topomax due to this side effect. I have read all the threads on the various treatments of prevention with the use of biotin and other minerals and vitamins and their dosages and have been taking good probiotic sources of these, but not for so long that I can measure an effect.
I was curious as to any success stories to vitamin and or mineral usage and dosage amounts and a timeline on these from you as a gauge on whether or not I should proceed with Topomax or consider an alternative to the headache dilemma. I do not care to pursue the wig industry at this time...giggles!
Yours Truly,
tiggywinkle :-)
