We seem to have similar experiences with Zyprexa. However, I take it a few hours before bedtime (for some reason it takes that long to kick in), and then right at bedtime I take 1 mg of Klonopin (I have been on Klonopin for years, ththough I used to take it during the day).
My pdoc says the Zyprexa calms my racing thoughts mind and the Klonopin calms my body. All I know is that the combo has restored my ability to fall asleep and remain asleep. Before the Zyprexa, when my head hit the pillow, my mind began to race and I felt like I was *on alert*.
I found it interesting that you've been able to stop the Klonopin since you have been on Zyprexa because with me it may wind up being the opposite - my pdoc anticipates that I would go off Zyprexa but remain on Klonopin. (I'm a bit *afraid* to stop the Zyprexa, at least not for awhile, because of it apparently combining with the Klonopin to enable me to sleep)
