Has anyone else ever taken Depakote and noticed hair loss? I was started on it in January and about a month or two later I noticed that every time I brush my hair a lot of hair comes out with it. Every time I brush my hair I need to clean the hair out of my brush 3 or 4 times. I know it's normal to lose some hair but it's just becoming a ridiculous amount. My hair seems to be thinning horribly and I cannot think of anything else that may be causing it. I haven't switched to any new products either so the only other thing I could think of is that maybe the Depakote is causing it.

If anyone else has noticed this happening to them on this med or even any other psych med is there anything that can be done about it with out discontinuing the medication?

I am paranoid that if I cannot find a way to stop the hair loss that I will seriously be nearly bald within a year. And being a female the thought of losing my hair is horrifying.
