Sorry Chloe,
I'm afraid I can't be much help. Depakote always helps me to sleep. In fact, I recently upped it and have slept well for the past few nights, although it took a week or so to kick in. And when I first increase it I often get thick headed and groggy in the daytime too.
However, reactions to medicines are very individual. I had a terrible time with my sleep cycle on Neurontin, and I don't think that's usual either.
You'd better give your doctor a call. Decreased sleep does cause a lot of problems with mood, and perhaps he could do something.
