sid:
I don't know if this helps, but I've experience hair thinning from Depakote, which is also with that med. It's minor for me, and I had the thinkest hair in the world prior to taking it, so it's not that noticable. But if it were, I'd be upset as well.
It is recommended that one take Zinc and selenium to offset this. Most multi-vits don't have enough of either. I think that has helped me a little.
Also, there have been studies about taking a lot of Zinc to counteract a lot of things. I have no idea if this is another "supplement of the month" push or if it's even safe to overload on Zinc. Just something to throw out. Taking a huge amount of Zince for a month got rid of my husband's wart. Go figure.
