Over the past few months, any time I wash, comb, or run my hands through my hair, I have a lot of shed hairs. A LOT. And then I noticed that my hair has not been as fluffy as it should be, and even with proper tousling and product, my hair aggressively parted and flopped in certain places where it shouldn't.
I had the Stroppy One look and take photos. Yep, my hair is thinning.
I started doing research last night, and this is probably due to the Topamax. There are a lot of discussions about it on reddit and various medication forums. Which means the hair thinning is the final push for me to write down the list of weird and vague physical symptoms I've been randomly having, compare them to side effects others taking Topamax have reported, and then match things against when I started taking the med. And then probably talk to my psych and neurologist about tapering off, because weird and vague physical symptoms PLUS thinning hair? Thanks, no.
(Yes, I'm vain. I admit it. I like my hair, dammit.)
