Howdy,
I've been completely off Depakote for about 2 weeks. I don't notice the hair thinning that I had while on it for 10 mos. getting better. Should it get better, or are my poor follicles permanently altered by the med?

Hi sageblue,
I lost tons of hair while on Depakote, but it all grew back once I stopped! Give it some time...it took at least a couple of months if not longer to notice a few inches of new hair had grown back in.
Hang in there,
Sooshi

I was on Depakote for one year. I lost about half of my hair. I've been off this med for six months now and most of my hair has grown back. It took a few months but it will grow. Hang in there!!
