I'm fairly well-read on drug profiles. Hair loss is one I tune into. I've been on Topamax for a couple of years, also bipolar, but as opposed to mood stabilization, I take it for migraine prevention mostly.
No hair loss, and it isn't something my pdoc has seen, nor have I seen it in any of my crazy friends also taking it. I'd be more worried about the eye issues, honestly. I did experience that initially, even went to the eye doc - but found it to be a non issue.
Best of luck,

> My p-doc wants me to start topamax for bi-polar2 disorder. I'm currently on 2 mg klonopin a day for anxiety. Hopefully the topomax might have some ad properties. Won't do lamactil because of the deadly rash possibility. I've heard hair loss is pretty common and my head of hair is the only thing left that okay right now. Are there any supplements or vitamins that might prevent that?
