> Not that weird. Insomnia has been reported in clinical trials of valproate. I've heard that it occurs most often in children, but also in adults in some cases, especially at high doses.

For those people who experience insomnia on valproate, is daytime sedation still a problem?

Do you know what the mechanism is behind the production of insomnia by valproate? Could it be some sort of physiological disinhibition?
