Re: [epilepsy] Lamictal causing hair pulling

 

Lori,

What does her Dr. say about her pulling her hair out?

Does she do it in her sleep or after she is up?

Subject: [epilepsy] Lamictal causing hair pulling

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has had a side effect of hair pulling while on Lamictal?

Ainsley (now 23 years old) has been on Lamictal for over a year (very low dose) and her hair pulling began (coincidentally) when she started that drug. She is only on 150 mgs AM and 150 mgs PM. This morning she pulled out a huge chunk of her hair and I am at my wits end with this.

Any thoughts? Oh, the hair pulling occurs at night, or possibly when she first wakes up in the morning.

Thanks for any help ...
Lori
