depakote/ sedation

Has anyone stareted depakote and had a really hard time with tiredness. I spent all weekend in bed. Today it's been a week of taking it and still I could barely get out of bed for the pdoc at 11:00 to shower in time for pdoc then came home and went back to sleep from 4-8. Won't be long till I'm tired again. He wants to know how I am... well am I just REALLY tired from the depakote? Or so depressed it's tiring me out? I'm confused... if anyone has had this problem how long did it take for it to go away?
Thanks guys!

I had a BIG problem with that on Depakote, and it never went away. I'm not a pdoc, but I would try you on something else at this point. Have you considered Neurontin or Topamax?

I'm on depakote and am always tired. The only thing is, I'm on so many other meds that I can't say if it's the depakote that does it, or another one, or a combination of all of them. I would definitely talk to your pdoc and see what he/she says. If it is the depakote, as Beth suggested, maybe you could switch to something else.
Good Luck:) Keep us posted.
