Will Topomax Cause Hair Loss?

Hi does topomax cause hair loss (thinning hair)? I was on it five years ago for migraine and most of my hair but unknown to me, I also had stage 3 thyroid cancer. I was treated for my cancer and anemia and have my hair back:) Once again, the doctor wants me on topomax for treatment of severe migraines. Hence, my question- was it the thyroid cancer, or anemia that caused the hair loss(almost baldness) or was it Topomax? Thank you kindly!

most probably this was caused by thyroid cancer but topomax may had some small effect on it too.
Wish you good health. Regards
