It is definitely the duloxetine. I just weaned myself off of it and noticed my hair is not falling out as much I have lost almost all of my hair. I did not realize it was the meds till I went off. I even went to the dermatologist but I finished my last pill a week ago and that fast my hair stopped falling out and my fingernails started getting thicker

I’ve been on Topomax and haven’t loss any of my hair, but everyone responds differently with medicines. I hope you can get something that helps you regrow your hair!

Also, be careful with your kidneys. Topamax causes kidney stones.
