I take Zyprexa (olanzapine) and after awhile, it stopped tiring me out. Are you taking it just at bedtime? I could sleep 10 hours easily and not even hear my alarm clock go off. I started off at 2.5 mg and now I take 5 mg once a day. I discovered that taking it earlier made me less sleepy the next morning. I don't have any problem taking it 6 or 7 hours before I go to bed. I know that's hard for you to believe at this point, but feeling exhausted will go away. I've been taking Zyprexa for 2 years and if I could remember, I'd tell you how long it takes before the exhaustion goes away. The best I can recommend is that you take it before bedtime and go to bed earlier because it causes you to sleep longer than usual. Good luck.
> I've been taking olanzapine for 8 days and i'm exhausted everyday at work. I read an article saying the tiredness will go away after longer use . Is this normal feeling so tired? Will the drowziness go away?
