I been taking sodium valproate for 7 days nearly 8, I felt work was easy to handle but once I got home I felt tired which is surprising, when I first orginally started taking sodium valproate 7 days ago in the mornings I had tiredness in the day & feeling energetic by night along with insomnia, so I started to take it by night on day 6 of it, I couldn't sleep at all for the past 3 days due been so hyped at night.

Today after work and shower I took a 30 minute nap afterwards felt my mood just drop like my mind showing me memories I felt depressed at, I have to go some where soon I don't even feel like leaving my house, I feel like how I felt before taking sodium valproate minus the feeling of impatient anger.
For all I know taking the mess at night might caused this probably my fault.

I feel like why I am even alive today? Two days ago I felt like I walked in fresh air my moods felt great content stable.

Talk to your doctor. You probably messed up the dosage by taking it at night, perhaps you go back to the original time but perhaps half the dosage? Ask the doctor... it takes time for meds to adjust, tc
Thanks for this!

What time of day did your doctor tell you to take the valproate? You yourself noticed that your mood changed when you changed the time of day you took the drug; try switching it back.

Don't mess with the dosage without talking to your doctor about it, though... messing with medications isn't safe.

They never were specific except take it once a day which I did, I thought I could each day move it forward every two hour till the evening.
