Hi,
Amongst the three medication, Lamictal is linked to hair loss. But usually hair loss is multifactorial. As you discuss about modifying current medication, it is also important to isolate all the factors involved to treat hair loss effectively.
Let me know if you need any other information.

Hi Dr, thank you for answering. I have been going through more stress lately the past few months or so. I don’t feel is alopecia because I am familiar with that. It’s mostly thinning around a cowlick and also sitting in the front. I’m using Keranique...any ideas you have would be helpful. Possibly a vitamin? Thank you Dr.
Brief Answer:
Biotin supplements is helpful...

Apologies for the late reply...
Stress and nutrition are two important factors that affect hair growth / cycle. You need to manage the stress adequately. Good sleep, improved diet, physical exercise and transcedental meditation can help you combat stressors.
Good proteins, vitamins and minerals are necessary for stronger hair and new hair formation. Multivitamins especially biotin, niacin, Lysine and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, calcium and iron are recommended. Keranique supplement seems to be covering all these ingredients. In addition a protein rich diet or a protein supplement will benefit you.
I would also consider a good shampoo'; one that is an effective antidandruff agent. It adds to the treatment of hair fall.
Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.
