In reply to possible lamictal hair loss?, posted by david black on August 29, 2004, at 8:23:22
At first, I didn't notice the hair loss, but now that I am up to 400mg, it is hard not to notice. I am a woman with short hair, and tossle it a good deal during my high stress job. Hair is all over my desk the past four weeks. Not to the point where I have gaping holes, thank god. Just noticable.

> the only change in my medication cocktail has been the addition of lamictal, i am now up to 200 mg
