Is it ok to take Divalproex with Zopiclone? ?

My (new) psychiatrist prescribed me Divalproex for a mood stabalizer, and he knows that my family doctor prescribed me Zopiclone for sleep. He said to me after the Divalproex I would probably feel no need to take Zopiclone.

I currently take 60mg of paxil.

I know it's probably a weird combination no one has heard of, so I don't really expect any answers. I will do some web searching before taking this stuff.

I got this information from drugs.com interaction checker (as a result when the above drugs are taken together)

"During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression. Ambulatory patients should be counseled to avoid hazardous activities requiring complete mental alertness and motor coordination until they know how these agents affect them, and to notify their physician if they experience excessive or prolonged CNS effects that interfere with their normal activities."
