damn depakote.
apparently the incidence of hair loss, thinning hair is quite rare. lucky me woohoo. now, i have long wavy THICK hair so i've still a while before the situation goes to defcon 1 (even tho i'm losing troops at an alarming rate).
anyway. been on 1250 depakote pdoc just brought me down to 1000 to see if there'd be any change. just wondering if anyone's ever experienced this and if so, did a lower dose help or did you hafta get off it altogether????
if lower dose doesn't work for me it'll mean going over to tegritol which would be just SUPER. more weight gain and god knows what else. i honestly believe my doc is trying to turn me into an oompa loompa...every week gives me scrpts for zyprexa 'in case i change my mind' when i so don't need it.
however, pls pls pls pls pls if anyone has any info on my hair sitch pass it on!
thx!
ps...suppose if i just saved up all the hairs i could make a wig in the end!
