this is happening while on concerta only or all the time. also some of these habits are very normal for a kid (the sleeping part could be because concerta is a stimulent). If she is becoming more excitable while on this med she probably does not have ADD or ADHD. I have always been a fan of using meds that act on GABA instead of a stimulent for this disorder anyway so Depakote is a good idea as long as she seriously needs it and is just not being a "normal" child
