My pdoc changed my mood stabilizer today. He took me off Topamax (I've been on this for 2 1/2 years) and put me on Zonegran. I've had (VERY BAD) hair loss the entire time on Topamax. I even take the vitamins to help with this every day but it did nothing to stop or slow it down for me but because it was working other wise I stayed on it. I had tried MANY , if not all the other mood stabilizer. In fact I was on Lithium when I had to go into the hospital once for a month, and they say Lithium is the "Gold Standard" of mood stabilizers , well it wasn't for me. Well I just want to know what other people have experienced with Zonegran, the good the bad the ugly! ....what ever you got! And does anyone have any hair loss on this med, so far I don't see anything about this but that was the same with the Topamax too at first. Thanks for any info you've got... :-)
