MedHelp Member's Question

I'm 19 and my hair is falling out in chunks!

I take 200mg topomax (topamax) daily, which I think is causing my hair loss/thinning. I am thinking of getting off of it so that I can stop losing my my hair but I have read that even after getting off of it some people never regrow their hair. What are your experiences? What is your advice? Are there any other meds I should ask my dr about that work good with Abilify for mood stabilization?
