Use the combination of selenium and zinc (200 mcg selenium and 100 mg zinc), daily. Works well for Depakote-induced hair loss. Worth a try for other psychotropic hair loss.
FYI, the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for selenium is 70 mcg daily while the RDA for zinc is 15 mg. Those who are already taking a multivitamin could change to a brand called "One Source" from WalMart, which already contains 200 mcg of selenium. However, it only has the RDA for zinc, so it would still be necessary to take an additional zinc supplement.
