did you have problems with hair loss and hair breakage while on topamax?? I have been experiencing tons of both so I stopped taking my Topamax. But, I now am gaining weight so I would like to start taking it again..But, I am weary of the hair breakage and hair loss..

No. I did not have any hair breakage or loss while on Topamax. I do have problems with finding my words ( ie. I know what I want to say by I can't think of the word I want to use...). I also experienced some tingling in my hands, but this could be from a combination of Topamax and other medications I take for another problem.
I have heard that the weight loss does not happen the second time you take Topamax, however I asked a pharmacist and he said that ALL the side effects would PROBABLY return.
Any one else lose weight the second time around??
