Hi cybercafe,
I've been taking Zyprexa for about 5 months. (I take it for schizophrenia.)
The sedation will probably go away after a few weeks...at least it did for me. I still sleep a lot at night, 10-12 hours, but I feel no sedation during the day.
Something to keep in mind is that Zyprexa is notorious for causing weight gain. I gained 10 lbs...all the weight gain occured during my first month of treatment. My appetite was ferocious and I had cravings for salt and carbohydrates.
Take care,
melinda
