I'm hoping someone can save me from some research.
I'm losing my hair. Badly. It's from the Depakote level I have, and is a common side effect. It usually levels out over time and has for me before. But this is the worst it's ever been and it's looking scary. (Thankfully I have a lot of hair to lose).
I am using treatments my salon person highly recommended. They sort of help.
I remember in the past being told to take Centrum silver. I tried; it makes me wake up very nauseous about 3 hours later. I can't do that.
So what nutrients in it are beneficial? I'll see if I can sneak them in individually and go back to children's multi-vitamins.
Any ideas? (other ideas on the hair loss are welcome too!)
This close to needing hair plugs.
When I was on depekote and losing my hair, my doctor told me to take 50mg of chelated zinc and 100mcg of selenium. I didn't stay on the drug long enough to know if these helped. Depekote also makes me crazy. But supposedly one of the reasons it makes you lose your hair is by blocking absorption of these minerals.
