Oh yeah, I have lost quite a bit of my hair. I'm getting self conscious because my right temporal lobectomy surgery scar is starting to show. A new haircut helped.

I've taken over 30 of the Epilepsy medications so can only say what my current epilepsy specialist has said to me. He suggested Vitamin D and Calcium because they would work together well with current vitamin and medication routine.

I'm not sure what meds it happens with but it can happen with some of them. I've never had happen.

I used to have a full head of hair in my younger days, but now that you mentioned it, I did notice on top in the middle of my head, hair is missing, I'm not sure if it is the meds or aging or what really, but does not bother me, I wouldn't mind having it back but can do without it, I'm ok with that
