Hi, I would appreciate the answer of a Psychiatrist... I am taking Depakine 300 mg (or 150 mg other evenings) before I go to bed --when I cannot sleep with the maximum dose of Seroquel that used to help me sleep.(which is 400 mg). For quite a few months I used to fall asleep taking either 200 mg Seroquel at bedtime, or maximum 400 mg. When the stress level in my life has increased, I had to add 150 mg Depakine to the 400 mg Seroquel I take at bedtime -- and I can say that I sleep fairly well. When the stress level increases too much, the only way I can fall asleep is taking 400 mg Seroquel, plus 300 mg Depakine at bedtime. I have been diagnosed for many years with Major Depressive Disorder, for which I have been successfully taking the following antidepressants: Lexapro 20 mg, and Cymbalta 60 mg. I am still taking those meds. every morning. I have changed psychiatrists quite often lately, and at this moment I am yet to find a new psychiatrist. I have a few concerns: Recently I experience very severe Hair Loss, of such degree that I am afraid I might lose my hair, at the rate my hair is falling out . Is there something regarding those medications that might cause my hair to fall out so badly? More, the only reason Depakine was added to my other medications was, to take at bedtime for extra-anxiety that might keep me from falling asleep and staying asleep. Previous to starting the Depakine, hair loss was not a problem... Could Depakine be the culprit? Do you have any advice for me? Another fact: I found myself slipping into depression, and I cannot say if it is due to the stressful factors in my current life, or some of the newly added medication is to blame. I can barely get out of the house, and I seem to be having trouble driving as well.... I am on Medicaid, and just recently got my Health Insurance card with the name of a new PCP. (family doctor) I will have to drive myself to the first appointment with my PCP this Thursday --I have recently moved to the area, and my boyfriend is at work, so he cannot help driving me to this very important appointment. Is there any advice you have for me? Most gratefully. PS. Please do not post my question for anyone else to be able to read it. Thank you.
