i just started taking depakote 500 mg/night and became a zombie after the very first night (my pdoc told me to take it at bedtime, which that night was supposed to be 11pm, so that's when I took the pill).
i heard that depakote is supposed to be quite sedating so i expected to feel woozy and drowsy quite quickly - nope - it took about an hour before i felt even remotely sleepy
when i awoke the next morning, i was zonked out so badly i remained in bed most of the day (till very late in the afternoon) even when I finally did get up i felt out of it, hazy, druggy, groggy
has anyone else experienced this on depakote?
will this wear off?
just how sedating is depakote supposed to be?
