Hi:
I just forgot to say in regard to the dosage of Zyprexa.
In my opinion, .... 5 mg Zyprexa is quite 'High' dosage as seeing you're on other AP, Abilify. Try to cut it down to 2.5 mg. that may help you NOT to get sedation from the Zyprexa. Still may get one, but less sedation.
Once get used to the Zyprexa, then try to take it back to the 5mg. Because, like you, in my recollection about four years ago, I got quite sedation/sleepiness from the Zyprexa. You need to take 'slow' on this med. due to 'fatigue' and other annoying problems from taking Zyprexa.The other med., 'Halcion,' ... in my opinion also, if this med. offerring you 'good relief,' then you'd better to stick with this med. Because, there are 'pros' and 'cons' no matter what med. you're taking. No 'Perfect' med. on the market so far. However, as a 'back-up' med., try to remember 'Serzone,' because this med. is quite reputable among those who are NOT able to tolerate SSRIs and all other form of the med. Practically, this med. might be 'last med./resort' to find a relief you need.
