Topamax for intrusive thoughts?

doctor prescribed this for me. i want to take it but am somewhat reluctant as i have heard it can cause hair loss. i love my hair and dont want to be bald!


if it DOES cause hair loss in me, are the effects reversible?

This side effect is possible but not common...in some cases it is not reversible..better to ask your doctor for other medications that you can feel safe with and not have to worry about this...ask him re Paxil, or Zolfot or Celexa,...there are many.
