Trileptal and insomnia

I have been on Trileptal for about 2 years now at 750 mg. However, Only recently I began to have a lot of hair loss. In fact, I now have a bald patch at my temple. I am only thirty years old, and otherwise in good health. I'm trying to determine weather or not this drug is responsible for my hair loss. I'm extremely reluctant to go off of it because it is the first medication I've taken (for bipolar 2 & insomnia) that has helped. Does anyone know if it could be related?

Was taking 300mg BID for seizure disorder (complex-partial with occasional progression to generalized) but had to stop because of severity of side effects: confusion, inability to remember words, depression, inability to concentrate, increased frequency of "aura" sensation/absence seizures, fatigue, frequent migraines, short-term memory loss (seems to have been related to medication rather than seizure disorder), dizziness, flushing, "drunk" feeling, insomnia (not sure if due to drug), loss of libido, occasional suicidal thought, etc. (There are others, but because of memory/concentration problems, can't remember them!)

I have been slowly increasing my dose of trileptal over a week and a half of taking it- and I am only on 450 mg right now- But I have an extreme light sensitive headache for at least a week now; along with lowsy appetite; numb tongue; insomnia; extreme fatige during the day- massive lethargy; and a smashing frontal headache- alot like a csf tear headache. I am borderline personality- possibly bi polar- and also have the intense seizure like muscle jerks... Is this normal? I don't feel as moody- as the ability to focus on such an emotion is not possible- it is as if I am numb...Please help....
