I started taking it in conjunction w/my Gabapentin, in the hopes that I could reduce the amount of Gabapentin I was taking as it was causing me weight gain. The
Topamax did work well to
control my nerve pain, but about 4-5 months in, my hair started falling out! I researched this & was shocked at the number of ppl this had happened to! And sadly, it appears to be permanent, even after getting off of Topamax. My hair stopped falling out, but what I lost has never grown back.
