A member asked:
Did anyone lost hair while on topomax?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually, but: I have had one patient who did suffer some mild degree of hair loss, which reversed when the drug was stopped. This would be a rather unique and individual reaction and is not the usual adverse effect from this drug. However, confer with a dermatologist, as many other causes are far more likely.
