I realize there was a thread on this awhile ago, but I think it would be beneficial to start a new one. I was on Depakote for about 3 months and began losing my hair in large quantities. The medication eventually stopped being effective so I stopped taking it about 2 weeks ago. i thought that this would cause the hair-loss to cease, but it has barely even lessened. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know how long it will take for my hair to stop falling out?

You have no clue what I have been going through on this medication...hair loss...weight gain...tremors...memory loss....sore back...everything. I finally just quite it cold turkey 2 days ago and I have finals in school this week. I am so upset with my doc...all this for migraines. Just give me the Zomig and I'll be fine!
I know I shouldn't have quite it c/t...but it was either that and be bald by Christmas. My husband swept the floor in the bathroom while I was in class last Monday after I got out from showering...the floor had a pile of hair the size of a softball. I have been on the med for 4 months.
Do you know what the withdrawl symptoms are?
