Hello
Welcome to HCM.
Tab oleanz is an antipsychotic.
Depakote is mood stabiliser.
Both can cause weight gain.
These drugs are not given to induce sleep but they have their other specific indications.
They can cause sedation as their side effect.
I suggest you to discuss this with the doctor who has prescribed these medicines to you.
Usually drugs like ativan, zolpidem are given to induce sleep but only by valid prescription of psychiatrist.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
