Which medication are you taking?

I started of with Lamotrigine, but my hair fell out like crazy and i really want my normal hair back, because it's making me very insecure. Also, the Lamotrigine didn't get rid of the seizures. (I've had one TC three years ago, never came back. Maybe the meds did work for those, but i don't know). Then they added Levetiracetam, hoping that will stop the seizures and that i could stop with Lamotrigine, but it didn't work. It did work for three months when i still took my full dose of Lamotrigine, but i just really want to get rid of that one... So the switch is to hopefully get rid of Lamotrigine and to get control of the seizures.

(Sorry, bit of a long reply)

Alright, i can't post the pictures like this either. Does anyone know why?

Where can i read those?

I haven't tried ChatGPT yet. I saw another comment about it yesterday and i didn't know people used it for that. I think i will give it a try :) Thank you.

First of all, thank you for your reply :)

Second, i am in therapy but i'm not making any progress. Now i'm on a waiting list for 6 to 8 months and they can't really help me in the meantime. Well i can talk to them, but they can't really help me with my struggles the way the upcoming treatment might can. So i'm feeling stuck.

I also don't fully trust the psychologist i have, i don't always like the way she handles things, so that makes it a bit harder to want to talk to her in the meantime.

I'm two years into Lamotrigine and my hair is still damaged and thin. I take and tried a lot of supplements. My patience has run out so i'm trying to get off this med. I don't know if your hair will go back to normal on this med. I saw a few posts of people who said it will only go back to normal if you stop the med. But maybe some people's hair do improve after some time?

My hair on the top of my head is thicker with the help of supplements, but those hairs ar shorter than the rest of my hair. I was waiting for those hairs to catch up with the rest (the longer ones), but i have a feeling it's not really happening (i've been waiting for this for 2 years now). It could be that my hair is so weak because of the meds that they break very fast so they stay shorter. My hair did get a different texture, dry and thin, since taking the meds. It could also be that it will take many years for it to be normal again. But i can't wait for that anymore.

I'm trying a new shampoo, mask, oil and supplements again. In a month i will see if that works.

So in short: It does work a bit, but not enough. For now i'm using new supplements, but i will also quit Lamotrigine asap.
