Just wanted to let you know I can relate. If you ever want to talk, you know where to find me I kept on this drug because it helped me so much with my headaches. I felt allmost high I felt so good. When my hair started to thin my doctor was concerned and wanted to take me off Topomax. I loved feeling good and chose not to get off of it. I took it more than a year. Eventually almost all my hair fell out. People thought I had had cancer. So I made myself get off of it. It has taken almost two years, but my hair has mostly come back, except on top. I don't think it will ever come back to its normal stage. I also had tingling in my face and arm. It was wonderful to be without the pain. Hairor no pain--your choice.
