One more thing I forgot to add--Zyprexa is probably the most difficult med to quit in terms of rebound insomnia. Go to the insomnia forums and you will hear nasty stories about many people who have gone with almost no sleep for a month after discontinuing Zyprexa. So, if your husband plans to quit the Z, he should taper slowly and simultaneously add another sleep med that is easier to discontinue. Never quit Z abruptly and expect sleep to return anytime soon.
