Dan,
Thanks for posting your experience on Abilify.
With the Depakote, I do seem to be having more trouble falling asleep, although there could be other things going on as well. I seem to feel more energized after dosing (ER version), rather than sedated. And my sleep seems a little more light, dream-filled and fitful. I'm considering moving my dose time to an earlier part of the day to see if that helps. I hope that things will stabilize, though...

> Just one person's experience here but I found Abilify to be the worst med I have ever taken with respect to sleep. I was lucky to get 2-3 hours a night for almost two weeks and I was taking Klonopin + Ambien to try and counter the effects. Even after I stopped taking it (after a week) the effect lasted for about another week.
