Don't have any direct experience with Depakote (but I bet it is sedating because at one point my pdoc was going to give it to me and I have agitation and anxiety, need to be "calmed".
I've been on both Zyprexa, which I'm still on to help me SLEEP at night! It is indeed sedating and if your friend is taking it in the am, this could definitely be a factor in his problem staying awake during the day.
I also tried Celexa, and unlike many people (who find it neither sedating nor activating), I found it sedating - I had to take it at night. It also gave me headaches and I rarely get them.
