Suggest Remedy For Excessive Hair Loss When On Divalproex
I ve been on divalproex for 6 years and I am now weaning off slowly. I was taking 375mg twice a day and planned to go down 125mg/month. I ve been at 250mg twice a day now for a month and I have a dramatic amount of hair loss all over the scalp. Is this normal? I ve also been going through a very stressful event for the past month so I m not sure what is causing the hair loss.
