    The drug is complex, having started life as an Epileptic drug it has slowly gone in to be used in all sorts of related conditions. It does not seem to work in one person in the same way that it works in another.

    It is unlikely you will have a case for legal action as hair loss is not an unknown side effect.

    The NIH (US National Institute for Health) list hair loss as a known side effect.

    Over a four month time period perhaps you could have associated the hair loss with the Topamax and perhaps made a decision about the drug especially as by that time you knew it was not working weight wise.

    There is a Facebook group. Topiramate (Topamax) Support UK...........which has slowly grown and pulled in people from all over the world. Hair loss is often mentioned. But you can talk to people about your issues.
