I have been taking 100 mg Depakote ER for several months and had noticable hair loss combined with dry, itchy skin. How I cured it: One tab Centrum Silver multiviatmin per day provides the zinc and selenium you need to avoid this side effect. Also take an extra 40 or 50 mcg tablet of just selenium, because the amount of selenium in Centrum Silver is too low. That did it for me. I have heard it takes six months for lost hair to grow back.

How long did these vitamins take to sop your hair loss and or reverse it? 100 mg of depakote is a low dose. Did you mean 1000 mg you were taking of the depakote?
