I am currently (was) taking 300mg. a day . The hair loss has been noticeable this last year. We(my doctor and I) have also found out that Topomax interferes with my thyroid function so that it appears to have influenced a low thyroid condition in me which will contribute to hair loss.
I have stopped it altogether and prefer naturals anyway for remedies if at all possible. Unfortunately, the moment I ceased the pill a headache ensued and lasted 3 days complete with vomitting. But, now I seem to be fine.
As my blood indicated, the Topomax is problematic to my thyroid hence, I will never take it again. It has too many side-effects for me anyway.
I hope you are not experiencing any difficulty with it.
Kind Regards,
Darden
