Is there valproic acid, divalproex sodium or phenytoin in clonazepam or lamotrigine, Tegretol, dilantin or phenobarbital ? Thank you for answer ## There is in the Phenytoin in the DIlantin, that's the active ingredient in it. The Tegretol contains the active ingredient Carbamazepine, it's an anticonvulsant. However, the others you listed, Clonazepam, Lamotrigine and Phenobarbital are all generics, so those are the active ingredients. Do you have a problem with the other medications?

side effects ## Valprine is a simple mispelling for Valparin. Valparin (also referred to as sodium valproate or valproic acid) is an antiepileptic / anticonvulsant medication. This medication is most commonly known for treating seizures, migraine headaches and bipolar disorder. Valparin has also been evaluated for the treatment of AIDS and cancer, due to its histone deacetylase-inhibiting effects. On the flip side, Valparin does have a lot of potential side effects: which can be viewed at: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMHT0012594/?report=details#side_effects Hope this info helps!

1500 per day and is showing regular signs of hair loss ## Hair loss is actually reported to be a common side effect of Depakote (Valproic Acid). Referenced from: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000677/#a682412-sideEffects Generally, this type of side effect won't go away until the medication is completely out of your system. But if you haven't already done so, I would suggest talking to your doctor about any other alternative treatment options that can replace Depakote. I hope this helps!
