Gabapentin and hair loss
I started taking Gabapentin at 600mg a day seven months ago and noticed my hair has been coming out bad. At first I thought it was Keppra I was on but I stopped that in November and it just continued. It never occurred to me that it might be the Gabapentin because I was assured this was an incredibly safe drug. Used to have gorgeous hair. Now it’s thin where the bangs would be and all over really. Can see my scalp in areas. I have no male pattern baldness in my family. If anything we all have too much hair!
Gabapentin is an anti-seizure medication. Hair loss is a rare side effect.
