A member asked:
Is hair loss caused by depakote telogen effluvium? is it reversible? how long will it take? i stopped taking it two months ago and still falling a lot
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, causes problems: Depakote clearly causes hair loss. Generally, stops falling out within a couple of weeks. If after 2 months still falling out then, you need to see a doctor.
