My neurologist prescribed lamotrigine for my seizures, and I've been taking it for about three months now. I've noticed my hair falling out more than usual, and it's quite alarming. Could lamotrigine be the reason for my hair loss?

I didn't face hair loss, but I made sure to eat plenty of protein-rich foods like chana and eggs while on it. Good food is the best way to keep your hair roots happy anyway!

Shedding can sometimes happen when the body is adjusting to a strong new element. Daily practice of yoga like Kapalbhati helps improve blood flow to the scalp and naturally supports hair strength.

In my experience observing patients on this, mild telogen effluvium can happen but it's rarely permanent. Keep your scalp clean, avoid harsh chemical treatments, and let your doctor know if the shedding is heavy.
