> I'm on 500mg/day and Depakote is definitely NOT sedating for me. I take it in the morning and evening, but not right before bed. It doesn't seem to affect my sleep - positively or negatively. But I've heard it commonly does. It definitely acts as an AD for me; it really helps with my lows.
I haven't found it to be truly very sedating either.. I think the problems I have with it are a "pseudo-sedation" that arise secondary to what appear to be sleep disruptive effects. If I could effectively "fix" the sleep disruptive things, then more of the AD qualities of it might be more obvious to me.
