Good Morning,

One thing I do know for sure about Depakote is that it does make your hair fall out, but there is some kind of vitamin or something the pdoc can prescribe to sort of counter act this side effect. I hope you are going to feel better soon and your symptoms are not part of the flu or something. It's bad enough just having side effects from meds. DK just to let you know with those many cycling episodes did your doc say you are also Ultra Rapid Cycling as well. I know if you have these many in just one day it's even harder to adjust your meds to get stable. Good luck today and keep in touch.
