In reply to depakote hair loss?, posted by Louise67 on October 17, 2003, at 21:46:35
Ouch~this was what I hated about Depakote. I lost A LOT of hair AND gained 30 pounds in a month on Depakote. May I ask why you went off of it?
Yes, it's a possibility that since you've been off it a month give it a little more time to really get *out* of your system.
*cringes* I know how that hair loss can be. I still have hair loss with the meds, but I'm not bald yet.
Best of luck and hang in there!
> I have been losing my hair for at least the past two weeks. The thing is, I'm not taking depakote anymore. I took it for about two months and have been off it for about a month and a half. But I have only started losing my hair more recently.
> It is possible that my body is reacting slowly to my previous use of depakote? Has anyone else ever experienced this?
> Any advice would help.
