Anyone here have any experience with Zyprexa?

I'm just curious about other's experiences with it.

If I remember right it made me feel really groggy.

That's possible -- I was instructed to take it at bedtime and take it without my sleeping pill. It seems to work pretty well.

I usually don't feel groggy in the morning and if I do I think it's from the clonazopam I take at bedtime.

I have not heard of Zyprexa until I read your thread. I take 50mg. of trazodone at night, and I sleep pretty good.

I've tried trazodone and it didn't do well for me. In fact, interacted with something else I was taking at the time and made me not feel well.

Zyprexa is actually an anti-psychotic used for bipolar disorder and resistant depression.

The fact that it's an anti-psychotic scares me to death but hey, it's working!

I was on Zyprexa during my ENTIRE pregnancy with my daughter. It really didn't do anything for me and DID NOT help me sleep at all.

Good Luck
