Sherry,
>Ted, this is the best advise yet on depakote, I tried it and it helps alot.... I was told to take 1000mg at bedtime and 500mg in the morning and I had trouble staying awake at work

> It does help with meals.... although I take Depakote ER... But I cant see any difference
Thanks! Even still, I can fall asleep in the afternoon anytime. But I think it is important to try and avoid napping -- get all of your sleep in one spell at bedtime.
I don't think Depakote ER is any different from regular depakote. Regular depakote *is* extended release! It's all marketing!
Chip,
One thing I didn't make clear: Have regular blood tests always, not just because the dose was increased. Liver problems can pop up anytime, and you also need to make sure you don't take any more than you have to.
