    While taking Depakote ER you should avoid drinking alcohol or taking medications that cause drowsiness, such as sleeping pills or muscle relaxants. Depakote ER can cause drowsiness itself and this side effect can be increased. You should also avoid taking medications that interact with Depakote ER. Do not discontinue medication abruptly.
