Female Hair Loss After Stopping Topamax

I did not have hair loss while taking Topamas, but after weaning off of the Topamax, it was 3 months later when I started losing a ton of hair as described by others in this blog. I have been losing hair for a month now (I’m 4 months off of Topamax). I’m not taking birth control pills or DHEA. I too had all of my bloodwork done. I do have new hair growth, but I’m wondering when the hair loss will cease. Any estimates? Thanks very much.

Topamax is an antiseizure medication known to produce hair loss. It sounds like you are going through a telogen effluvium and that you are cycling your hair, with some returning and others falling out. Wait this out for 8 months. Sometimes minoxidil helps move the process along.
