I take Zyprexa and don't have the sleeping problems anymore. I started at 7.5 mg and I'm now up to 10 mg. I take mine after dinner and have no problems with over sleeping. Zyprexa does come in a 2.5 mg tablet if you can try that dose for a week or two. If I am going to have my body adjust to a new side effect (like over sedation), it usually happens after two weeks.
If you can stick it out for another week or two please do. I have been very pleased with the reaction I have had to Zyprexa.
Also, Pfizer is coming out with a new med called Zeldox which is in the same family as Zyprexa. It is supposed to be out in the next couple of months and have fewer side effects than Zyprexa. You may want to mention this to you doctor so you know when it actually hits the shelves.
Good Luck,
CHris
