Lamictal and Hair Loss
Tue, 02/01/2005 - 11:33Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced some hair lossor knows of a connection between hair loss and Lamictal? As i recently increased my dosage of Lamictal to 500mg a day, and i'm finding that i'm losing a lot more hair than usual especially when washing it. Any advice anyone can give me would be great!!!
Thanks Robyn.

I am on Lamictal and I have been told that all medications
can cause hair loss.

Do you guys think a body wave would make our hair fall out even more? We could try it. Today my stylist cut my hair way short to make it look thicker. Yeah right. She wanted me to ask my doctor about it but I said I would ask you guys instead because the doctors don't have much to say in the first place.

Yeah, I can truly understand the pain you’re going through. As in epilepsy hair fall is one of the symptom you need to face. Well, you can’t just get rid of this problem but you can take an extra care of your hair by using proper hair brush as per your hair type and get them from Hair Brush Suppliers.
