hi! For hairloss related to anticonvulsants (Depakote does this to people, too) alot of times docs recommend supplemental zince, selenium, and sometimes higher-than-usual B-complex, with an emphasis on folic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, and PABA. This could help...using a good daily multi-vitamin (any brand will do, just make sure its thorough) can help as well, since it can prevent a drug-induced deficiency. Good luck!
