> > > I have been using Topamax for about a year and a half. About 3 months ago I noticed a tremendous amount of hair loss. It is continuing!! Help! Any suggestions? I have used a special cream from my hair dresser and am trying 2000mcg of Biotin. (for about a month now---no improvement noted.) Should I quit the Topamax and risks the migraines again???? I don't want to be bald!
