**ive been on and off Topiramate for the last year or so. Never got passed the 75 mg dose. This past summer i started to notice slight hair loss. Then around Aug i really started to notice it! After doing my research on the med im now terrified. I Stopped this medication all together early SEPT and its now falling out in Clumps!!! if i brush it after the shower the brush is FILLED! ITS SCARY. im also noticing scalp pain , mainly by my hair line and on top of my head. Feels sort of a burning. Does anyone else have this pain? or anyone find a solution... this is going on almost 3 months post med! when will it stop? ill appreciate any feedback.

thanks!**
