I just started Topamax, and I'm excited! I've just read this whole thread about losing hair, and now I'm NOT so very excited. I do have really thick hair, but I still don't want to lose any. I just want something -- anything -- that will help with the pain. I've been on Neurontin for 8 months, and I've gained SO MUCH WEIGHT!!! I'm weaning off Neurontin as I'm increasing my Topamax. I think I'll just hang tight and see what happens to my hair. At first sign of shedding, I'll go straight to my doctor and see what else we can do. Thanks!
