Answers
I’m answering your question from a male patient who has been taking Vimpat for at least five years. I’m 81 years old an fortunately still have a full head of hair and beard. I have not experienced any change in my hair texture or introduction or reduction of curliness. This of course doesn’t rule out that the medication in your case as they have unique affects patient by patient. Hopefully you will get additional responses to your inquiry that can give you an answer that helps you determine if Vimpat is the culprit for your hair change. I’m leaning on it is since you indicated it began about the time your began taking the medication. Best of luck in receiving good responses.
