Does hair loss from Lamictal stop?

Question

Many people report hair loss induced by Lamictal (lamotrigine). Some people say that it stops, some people say it never stopped, some people say it grew back and some people say they never recovered their hair after. Will this medication cause permanent hair loss or is ir likely to come back?

Kulakarn Amonpattana, MD · Answer

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. If you stop the medication then the hair should grow back. However, it takes some time around 2-3 months for the hair to go back to their normal cycles. In case the hair loss still continues, I highly recommend you to see a dermatologist for further investigations to finding if there is any other causes of hair loss.
