How can i stop my hair from falling out. no thyroid problems but was taking depakote which i stopped over 2 months ago. very frustrated.

Hair loss: Suggest you see a dermatologist for exam and guidance. There may be other factors for hair loss or lack of regrowth since stopping Depakote. Meantime, cut your stress as much as possible, eat a healthy diet, try to exercise regularly and focus on the positive. Best wishes.
