I just started using Depakote(250mg) for the last two nights. I am on Prozac and other meds and the doc wants to try Depakote to help stabilize my moods AND to help me sleep better. I also take 2 benedryl, .5mg Xanax and Soma at night. He said I didn't have to stop those meds but I may try tapering off, starting with the benedryl. Anyway, my question is; is Depakote a medicine that needs to build up in your system(like Prozac did in the beginning)? The only effect that I have noticed so far, is that when I awaken in the middle of the night, I have been able to fall back asleep, so in that way, it seems to be "working". It doens't seem to make me drowsy when I take it right after dinner. Thanks in advance, Collette
