In reply to COLETTE: how's 5mg ZYPREXA going?, posted by Janelle on August 19, 2001, at 22:03:30
> Just wondering how the 5 mg of Zyprexa is going - is it working for you in terms of making you drowsy, even if it's not immediate. Sounds like from my own experience, that of JohnL, you and my pdoc's other patient, that Zyprexa may take a few hours to "kick in" for some people, well at the low doses anyway. Let us know how you fare; I can understand your desire to be off benzo's. Seems like both JohnL and I have found a good sleep inducer in Zyprexa. I also like the "quality" of sleep I get with it - I sometimes remmeber dreams so I know I'm getting the "right" kind of sleep!
> Again, good luck!
> -JanelleJanelle, I took 5mg at 7:00 and at 12:00 I still wasn't the least bit drowsy! At that time, I took my xanax, benedryl & Soma and then I did sleep through the night. Why won't it make me sleep??
I reported all this to my pdoc's office & I immagine he will call a script into my pharm(I had 7 free samples). I only have 2 left, but I will try taking 5mg tonight at 5:00pm on an empty stomach...I don't know what else to do! I like how I feel in the daytime but I can't get up in the morning because of my terrible sleep patterns.
Thank you for your concern, Collette
