In reply to Depakote insomnia?, posted by SheilaC on December 16, 2009, at 10:31:36
Depakote used to make me a tired zombie during the day, but disturbed my sleep so bad at night. Very weird. I had insomnia with it for sure, despite being zombied on it.
At the time I was taking Zyprexa. It had enough sedating power to knock me out, but I slept very light and woke many times. Prior to Depakote, Zyprexa had been giving me the best sleep of my life.
My usual crutch was to take Lunesta which worked pretty good. Depakote really didn't do much for me other than a vague sense of distant stabilization, so I weaned off it after a couple months trial.
