A member asked:
I've taken lamictal 200 mg once a day for 10 years. during that time i've lost 2/3rds of my hair. could lamictal be the cause?

Not common: Some antiepileptics cause hair loss (Depakote) which is significant but Lamictal isn't one of them that I'm aware of- I suppose it's possible but has your doctor looked at other MORE COMMON CAUSES of hair loss such as thyroid issues, nutritional issues, and maybe even scalp health issues? There is an interaction between Lamictal and Estrace (estradiol). Why are you on Lamictal? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
