I haven't had trouble with Topamax causing my heair to fall out, but Lamictal surely did. I found that 180 mcg of zinc in one doze and 1000 mcg of biotin three times a day slowed the process immediately. Then I stopped taking Lamictal and felt better all over right away, which sort of begs the question of Topamax, which I'm still on. (400 mgs.) But my hair isn't falling out with the biotin and zinc, which I sometimes forget to take.
I buy the supplements at Target, where they seem to be least expensive. There may be more suggestions on the alternative meds board where I'll bet this gets switched.
Best of luck to you.
Rainy.
