I called the company who makes the Lamictal which is AstraZenica pretty sure and they said no known side effects were reported of hairloss.  I was on the starter pack and trying to get off of seroquel to lose some weight and feel better about myself but it did not work.  It was too hard to change medications.  It takes too long to get the therapeutic level of lamictal  with me on bipolar. 

People might tell you that lamictal causes hairloss but every individual is different in responding to medications.  Stress can cause hairloss more than anything.  I should know mine is thin on top.  Good luck with your lamictal treatment. Hope it works!

Hi, my hair is really thin on top, and also all over. I don't take lamictal, but I started noticing it almost 2 years ago, when I was on celexa. I've been on paxil, seroquel, and now trileptal. I have also continously been on clonazepam the last 2 1/2 years. I think for me, it's hormones, and age. Some meds will cause hair loss more than others , but I don't know abut lamictal.

I am not on any of the meds some of the others mentioned but I did read that prolonged use of alot of the meds used in treatment of mental disorders can cause hair loss

The only advice I could give is if you are on any medication that can be used for high blood pressure and other things that might be what is causing hair loss. I have heredity on my mom's family side so I know that is part of my situation. Every time I get my hair cut they person asks me if I take any high blood pressure drugs. If you don't take blood pressure medication then the only other thing I can think of is stress and maybe some other medication you are on. I have found with my hair loss the Nioxin brand products have actually helped. They are a bit spendy and you can find them at any pricey salon but not at a Great Clips or Cost Cutters. Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes this can cause some hair loss and it can be particularly bad when combined with other medications such as lithium and fluoxetine.

If you are concerned at all discuss with your doctor and check that there is no other reason for hair loss such as low iron levels or thyroid etc
