Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

Divalprorex sodium is good mood stabilizer drug. As a side effect, it may cause hepatomegaly so it needs to be reduced.

Your anxiety might be due to
- just simple anxiety regarding symptoms
- Worsening of bipolar mood disorder.

Excessive sleep might be due to
- Exhaustion
- As a side effect of olanzapine.

You should consult your psychiatrist for detailed evaluation. Doctor will rule out physical causes of your symptoms and adjust the drug dosages accordingly.

Thanks.
