Does Depakote Cause Night Sickness In A Child?
I have a 8 years old son who has been on depakote since he was 2.5years old. Ever since he has been on this med, he became a light sleeper and my question is, does depakote cause night spike? His motor has been unstable(relapse) ever since he s on depakote.

yup depakote can cause trouble sleeping as a side effect but before attributing less sleep to it, it is better to know the general habits of the child, gadget use at night, whether the child sleeps during day time or not
if no other reason is found, u can attribute to it.. we can reduce the dose according to symptoms
