HAIR LOSS DUE TO MEDICATIONS

ANYONE OUT THERE EXPERIENCE ANY HAIR LOSS- WHILE TAKING LAMICTAL (LAMOTRIGINE) FOR BI-POLAR DISORDER OR SEIZURE DISORDERS?  IF SO, IN WHAT DOSES AND TIME FRAMES ?

I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR ONE YEAR NOW, AT 150 MG PER DAY.... JUST CURIOUS IF THIS COULD BE THE CULPRIT BEHIND MY HAIRLOSS..  MY HAIR HAS THINNED SO MUCH-- I CAN ALMOST SEE THRU IT...USED TO BE SO THICK- THAT I COULD NOT GET MY THUMB AND MIDDLE FINGER TO MEET AROUND A PONYTAIL....

I suffered hair loss (and abnormal hair quality) from taking inhaled steroids for asthma. I started taking Biosil and large doses of vitamin B5. My hair has returned to its normal texture. It is a matter of time before I can tell if any of it is growing back - but I don't seem to be losing any more. The cause of my hair loss had to do with a different poisonous medication, but you might give this a try. These supplements are known to be good for hair generally. In my case the improvement was startling.
