Epilepsy medication side effects

2018-11-09 11:58:54
I am currently taking Trioptal 150mg, Divaa 250mg and Lamitor DT-25 each twice daily. I am experiencing excessive hair fall. I want to know which one of these medicine is responsible for it. Also will my lost hair regrow if I stop taking medicine? I have never had a seizure attack for past 4 years. Does all the medicines for epilepsy cause hair fall? If there is one which doesn't please suggest it's name so that I can consult with my doctor about it.

Divaa 250 may be the most likely culprit and stopping it may result in hair regrowth. You can follow up with me if you seek further discussion on it.
