Depakote
Does it affect your hair and teeth?
Hi ladies I haven't taken Depokote but have taken AEDs for nearly 40years I've tried loads of meds .I've lost a lot of hair I was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia but I'm sure long term use of AEDs didn't help I have been buying wigs for 8years On the NHS ,necessity wearers in Wales are allowed 1,wig per year .I have inflamed gums which may be related to long term use I'm with ProudTX , I had a DEXA scan which confirmed lack of bone density & osteopenia. I was diagnosed 43years ago ,if I'd known about joint/bone problems I'd have started taking supplements with my diet .I ended up having a hip replacement 3years ago

Hello JenaeGandues, 💜 how are you? I do agree to both the weight gain and the hair loss. Thank you so much, you take care 💜❤️💜
I was recently token off of Depokote because I gained a lot of weight and my hair was coming out quite a bit.
