Get yourself some Biotin take 10 thousand MG daily I take mine with AM meds. It works wonders on hair loss, and makes your hair and nails grow like crazy. You can get it at Wal-Mart OTC in the herb section as that is what Biotin is. Hope you find this info helpful. Blessing Dee
Thank you for sharing what has helped for you.
Did you experience hair loss?
What do you mean the brand teva
Thank you for sharing. My Psychiatrist put me on Topamax today. I am also on Welbutrin and Lexapro. He put me on it to lose weight. So it is nice to know it worked for you. As far as losing hair, I have way to much anyway. Lol
Please note that you did I almost double your antidepressant. Perhaps yoy were under medicated.Topamax is used as a mood stabilizer so I do not understand how one would become depressed by using it
Hi I have been on catapress, lexapro and Abilify for a few years and I've gained fifty pounds...I was under weight but I now am at least thirty pounds over weight.. I'm honestly at my wits end with the weight gain and want to try something else, topamax and wellbutrin sound ideal for for my major depressive disorder and symptoms from borderline personality....but I'm totally freaked out about hair loss, do these vitamins really work? I'm really scared to switch meds in the first place and losing my hair would be horrible! I just want to feel healthy and not have to be fat or bald lol! Any advice would be appreciated!
I have been taking it at 50mg twice a day and i have had no hair lose at all, I have been taking it for almost a year now.
Have any of you been monitoring your thyroid? Topamax can cause thyroid issue which in turn would explain the hair loss. A simple fix is a low dose of thyroid Med to counter act the damage the Topamax is doing. Talk to your doctors!
Thank you so so much for posting this I love the combination of topamax and Wellbutrin(for my headaches and depression) After my brain injury I coundnt stop eating I would get these terrible headaches if I tried to eat like I normally did and gained a lot of weight. I was put on topamax and stated to lose weight and also my heachaches went away!! I fee like I have to take t for the rest of my life due to my tbi. But I'm not ready to part with my hair so glad you posted this thanks so much.

Is it still working for you? I'm wanting to add wellbutrin on top of Prozac 80mg and topamax 100mg (still titrating). I have never spoken of my depression either. So, good for you. I'm a couple years late, but...so be it. Hope you get this and reply. It's the first answer I've found to my question I was looking for today, ( 5/22/16).
Hello,,I've been taking Wellbutrin for a while now and I feel good and I recently was given topamax for my migraines and since I've been taking both every time I drink a carbonated drink it kind of burns my mouth. I'm wondering if you know of anyone with the same effect. Thanks
I have been on topamax for over 10 years for migraines and Zoloft for depression. I lost over 100 pounds, had a stroke caused from taking the topamax which left me with a seizure disorder and other disabilities. Be careful with this drug doctors don't always tell you the side effects.
Make sure you take your biotin and vitamin b when taking toprimate. Take it every morning with your medication and you will avoid the hair loss.
So glad you wrote about the Biotin. Three years ago I had a PTSD type of mental break. My hair came out by the handfuls. My doctor said to take the Biotin religiously. My hair was beautiful, shiny, and thick in a few months. And, yes, just do the Wal-Mart thing.
