Hi,

I was on Topamax for 4 months and I did a lot of research during that time. I got a nasty side effect of hair growth- not severe but slowed down and almost stopped by now. Anyway, at one time I considered Zonegran but when I found out it was also an anti-convulsant I decided against it. But at the same time Topamax is known to have more side effects than Lamictal, Neurontin.

Most anti-convulsants cause hair loss and have androgenic properties(that cause hair loss, hormonal imbalances). I used to take lithium for BP but am off now when the doc discovered I had more of an anxiety problem rather than a mood problem.

Anyway, I read the boards here a lot and for BP I mostly read about Lamictal, Lithium, Topamax, Neurontin, Depakote, Zyprexa. Searching around a bit can help.

This is a really good website that has several articles from reputable sources about medications:

Go to the search button and there's stuff on several different meds.

best of luck to you,
Sara
