What Causes Excessive Sleep And Confusion While On Depakote And Xanax?

Apporximately a week ago. My husband started taking Depakote. 500 mg 3 times a day. He is also taking 2mg of Xanax 2 times a day and 600 mg of Gabapentin 3 times a day. My question is all he does is sleep or act confused. Can t walk says he can t feel his legs. He didn t feel this way before he started taking the Depakote. Is this a side effect?? Or is he being over medicated?
