Hi,
I was on Topamax(also an anticonvulsant)and the same thing happened to me. Both drugs mess with the hormones and cause these side effects. Both have androgenic(testosterone) properties which cause hair loss. That is what causes hair loss in men. The body is adjusting back. I had excess hair growth which is not fun. It takes time to pass and if it continues see a dermatologist. You should be okay.
