People, seriously, you've gotta help me out here. I'm on 3 pills, and one of them is making my hair curl, and I need to know which one!
I am on lithium, Seroquel and lamotrigine (Lamictal), and I am due to taper off of lithium, then drop either Seroquel or Lamictal.
But I have such a huge fetish on curly hair, that's all I wanted my whole life, and now I've got it, and I want to keep it longer if possible. Yes, I would consider staying on lithium longer than needed just to keep my curly hair a little longer. Yeah, I'm messed up, but who isn't. :)
So I start Goggling, and I find that this is a rare ~3-5% side-effect of valproate. But I'm not on valproate! So which other drug is it?
Please let me know if you've had the same side-effect, and which drug did it, or which drugs were you on at the time. Ughhh, I'm dying to know...

I'm on Lamictal now and the curl is coming back. Don't know if Lamictal makes curly hair, but it definately is giving me back MY hair. Thank god!
