Question for Larry Hoover

Posted by sarita0001 on October 11, 2003, at 22:08:39

Hi Larry,
You are so helpful to others on this site, Thanks.
I have a question that psychiatrists and dermatologists seem to have difficulty figuring out.
From January 2003-May 2003, I was on 675 Lithium and at the most 100mg Topamax. For a month and a half I was on birth control too. Around March when I was at 100mg Topamax/lithium, no birth control, I started growing more hair on my body everywhere, even eyelashes,ears. It got worse when I went off the Topamax and is still happening but slowing down. I continued on 675 lithium until last week. No doctors have an explanation. My new psychiatrist says that when you add another drug it can bring out the side effects of the other, in this case lithium, maybe explaining why the hair growth didn't stop. Now I am not on anything so we'll see what happens.
Any thoughts? thanks so much.
Sara
