Has depakote made anyone else really tired? I find myself sleeping like 12 hours or more a day. I just can't get out of bed. It's only been a week but still I feel like I should be getting less tired and I'm not. Will this go away?

No it won't. It put me into a coma like state. Depakote is VERY sedating. It might lessen somewhat, but sedation and weight gain are the two side effects people have the most trouble with.
