Has Anyone Experienced Any Excessive Hair Loss With BRIVIAC (brivaracetam)?
Has Anyone Experienced Any Excessive Hair Loss With BRIVIAC (brivaracetam)?
I started BRIVIAC last month or so back and ever since then I have had excessive hair shedding, almost like it's falling out sometimes. I have longish hair that I've been trying to grow out and I know with long hair comes some shedding but not this much. It's driving me crazy!!

That may be one of the side effects of BRIVIAC, look it up! Trileptal did not cause my hair to fall out, but Naproxen did! And of course, the doctors did not have the answer. I stopped taking that drug which corrected the problem.
