Shampoo for thinning Hair!

I found a shampoo, they actually have a whole treatment kit. I'm hoping it will help with the damage the Topamax did.

Does anyone know how long after stopping the medication your hair will stop falling out in clumps, if you happen to have this side effect?

Lastly, although I didn't go on Topamax to lose weight. That was the one good thing that came out of all of this. I've been told that when you go off of the Topamax you gain back alot of weight. Do you have any control over this. Is it due to overeating or some other cause? I'm prepared to gain back some of the weight but all of it??? 😞

    This did not happen with my hair

    I did put some weight back on but that's upto you to control it as the tablets make you loose your appetite I also went off fizzy drinks

    Expect it to be at least 3 months before shedding stops, and another 3 months before you notice regrowth.
