I have been on Depakote ER for some time. And just recently found out that the Depakote that I have been taking for my Epilepsy is what could be causing my hair loss. Has anyone else had this problem?

Along with biotin take folic acid 2x day, in a month you will see new hair growth. Eat clean, reduce sugars from your meal/snacks.

Looking for insight on Briviact

I'm switching from Depakote to Briviact tomorow. I've been on Depakote for at least 6 years and it's caused horrible weight gain. I dealt with that for a while but now I'm wanting to have children so I have to get off of Depakote. Has anyone taken Briviact? If so, did you have any weight gain with it? What side effects did you get the most?
-Thanks in advance!
