I have been taking this for 3 weeks and I just sleep all day I have no desire to do anything. I get extremely thirsty I have instances where I think of something very tragic and it makes me cry. Then I'm OK again My appetite is something that varies. But I just want to sleep. I hate it. Will this stop. I also get naps and headaches. I just want to feel better I don't want to be more depressed.
Does Depakote make you feel sedated?

Somnolence and headaches are considered very common side effects affecting 10% or more of people using this medication. By now, after 3 weeks, these side effects should have subsided.
I suggest you inform your Dr. of what you are undergoing, perhaps all you need is a dose adjustment.
