Is loss of or thinning of hair a common side effect of topiramate?

Yes, I am. I thank you for your response. I'll continue to research the other drugs I'm taking to try to find the culprit.

I am a user of Topiramate. I am a 40 year old male, take 50 mg daily and have been doing so for about 9 months. I had heard that hair loss was a side effect of this drug and have read many female users complain of this side effect on this and other message boards. However, I haven't heard many male users voice this complaint. I have noticed increased hair loss ever since I began taking Topiramate, however, as a 40 year old male, it is possible that the hair loss is due to my age and gender and not the medication. I would be curious to hear from any doctors or other male users about their opinions and experiences.
