dinah:
i really had this problem on topomax, less so on depakote. i use sleep when depressed to "escape" but not when agitated or high (anymore).
i have been taking a small amount of a stimulant, provigil, to help with my 2000 mg depakote sleepiness. it's not really quite doing it for me, but it might help you, except, it causes my heart to palpitate at anything over 50 mg, and that would not be good for an already agitated state.
if it's psychosomatic, i guess your therapist should know about it. i used to get really tired when in stressful situations, but i learned to counteract that with reason - "i am Not tired, i slept well last night, this is a reaction to the situation."
what an odd situation, eh?
