Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is It Safe To Stop Zoloft And Start Depakote While Having Bipolar 2?
Is it normal for a Physichiatric MD to take a patient off of Zoloft 200mg/day (cold turkey) after patient was on it for 5yrs. Then put patient on Depakote 1000mg/every evening n @ bedtime 1mg Ativan. He diagnosed me with Bipolar 2 saying I was normal and one can live a normal life with Bipolar 2 verses Bipolar 1.

Hi,
If there is no scalp skin / hair root problem in said area (to be confirmed by a dermatologist ). You should consult a neurophysician for excluding some neurological cause for the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
