Hello!
I've recently been put back on Depakote after being off of it for a couple years. As before, I am having terrible night terrors since starting it. Like clockwork, I have them bout 45 minutes into sleep, sensing the room I am in, and like something is in there with me, and then finally wake up screaming. (Often my husband has to grab me so I don't jump out of bed.)
I should note that if the above sounds strange, it's pretty par for the course as far as night terrors go-even the part about sensing some other presence in the room.
I am so curious to know if anyone else has these issues with their seizure meds. This subsided before, so I'm hoping it will again, but in the mean time, it's been a real pain, and making it very hard to want to go to bed at night.
Thanks for any input.
Amy
