I've been asking for PRNs to help me feel less anxious at night and sleep. The Divalproex tends to be make me more moody and anxious at night. Though I'm going to stop the PRNs for a couple days to see if it's things I'm doing on the internet that's making me moody and anxious. Since I noticed I slept well last night and there seems to be a correlation between that and no internet chat. Though it could be the Ativan helping too.

The Divalproex often makes it hard to sleep after I take it. Sometimes when I try not taking it for a couple days I can sleep okay, like a lot better. So I'm pretty sure it's the medication disrupting my sleep. Though the doctor may refuse to taper me off it so I want to see if there is any way I can cope without going off it. 

Even though I'm a voluntary patient for treatment he often refuses to taper me off certain drugs. He did agree to take me off the medication but only if I agree to take an injectable form of Abilify. Which is weird since how would that be any different than taking Abilify alone in tablet form? I have an appointment with him soon so I'll ask him about it.
