Off of depakote for months but my hair is still falling out. is there anything i can do to stop my hair from falling out like this?

It's complicated!: Hair loss can also be related to physical or emotional stress, or genetic factors. Any relatives with similar problems? Healthy diet can help, some say biotin supplements are beneficial. Would also rule out a physical cause such as a thyroid condition.

ALOPECIA TX: Alopecia or hair loss may be multifaceted . You need full Exam &lab work up especially Vit d/Thyroid studies /TESTOSTERONE/ b12 and folate. If they are normal start high dose Biotin zinc B12 and folic acid.. Rogaine (minoxidil) and Propecia may be helpful. If there is no improvement consult dermatology for biopsy to rule out auto-immune ALOPECIA AERATA.. With supplements start at a Lo dose and work up.
