> Lamictal by itself gives me one hell of a case of dandruff. I also lose more hair when I brush it. I need to use a zinc-based antidandruff shampoo every day. I never experienced any hair-loss when taking Nardil. However, I may be adding Nardil to Lamictal within the next few months, so I should get some idea if the two drugs together act synergistically. I hope not.

While on Nardil, I did not notice any significant hair loss. Try the vitamin supplements as has been suggested. I've heard others comment on the positive results. Good luck and I know its just one more thing, and not something that can be easily dismissed, that is paining you. The Nardil did work wonders for me, although short lived.
