Yes - my partner is on Depakote and it does cause hair loss. He takes Biotin, Selenium, and zinc to help combat that. It helps some. We also need to pick up some Follicure at the beauty supply store. It helps with thinning hair as well.

Never taken that drug before. So, I don't know about the side effects. I recommend you check out https://www.webmd.com

It's something in the medication then it starts eating away at your teeth. My teeth were perfect until depacote and now they are embarrassing. The doctor & dentist said it was the depacote.
