I lost almost 50 lbs in less than 6 months about a year ago. Everyone thought I was "too thin" then. (168-120) I had no appetite for the longest time. I take Topamax for migraines and the maximum dosage I had taken was 175 mg. After 125 mg. my hair starts to get very dry and brittle and eventually I lose some. Over this winter I decreased my dosage,(down to 25mg at one point but the headaches came back--ouch!!) got my hair back in shape(lots of conditioning treatments, extra vitamins and Biotin but it helped tremendously--not the same as before but lots better) BUT...I've gained 10 pounds that will not come off and my skinny summer clothes of last year don't fit. I'm back up to 125 mg Topamax for about 6 weeks now. No weight or appetite change---maybe Topamax only works the first time???
