What do you mean by "forced" ? If this is some sort of outpatient commitment, perhaps you should consult with an attorney...you may be able to get a new doc or at least get a more tolerable form of treatment.
Supplements may help. Zince+selenium are standard; I think those, plus a multivitamin, possibly plus some B vitamins (ALL anticonvulsants mess with the Bs) and maybe a selenium sulfide shampoo (selsun blue, for example) might help.
Your hair should grow back, but it'd be easiest to just go with a different med.
