It doesn't seem to be such a major problem to me (I take vitamins and herbs along with it), but I don't want to wake up with my pillow covered with hair one morning. The weight gain is bad enough and it came almost overnight. Can you give me any details about Depakote and hair loss? I know each person reacts differently to the meds, but I do wonder why my docs warned so much more about hair loss and said I would either gain or LOSE weight with the Depakote. Now, I hear of no one loosing hair and very few loosing weight. But after a few months or years, will my hair fall out? Thanks, Debbie.
