A member asked:
Stopped taking depakote about 2 weeks ago but my hair is still falling out. how long will it take to stop falling out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not despair: Takes many days for the Depakote to leave your system fully, and the hair follicle toxicity will gradually resolve over next 2-3 weeks at most. Depakote in my opinion is a very versatile and effective drug but due to adverse effects in females, is not my FIRST choice in most cases involving women.
