: My eleven year old son has been on Depakote since he was about 4 or 5. He has experienced hair loss, weight, when he was on depakene, the syrup form of depakote, he didn't like peppermint flavors or icecream. Now that he is on tablets he will eat these foods again. Hope this helps.

what side effects are you having? I have been on Depakote for 4 years now. Before that it was Tegetol and Dilantin. The only side effects I have had with Depakote so far are hand tremors. The doc said they are nothing to worry about.
