I have work up mornings that i get to sleep in, and i wake up to terrible anxiety, i mean this anxiety is not you minor anxiety, this is like an adrenaline rush, to get me out of bed,
I hate sleeping late into the day because this happens. Its like my body is forcing it self to wake up.
Who else has this?

I had that when I took less zyprexa. Maybe you should go up in dose, say 5mg, if thats not enough, try 10mg, but I wouldn't go higher than that.

I tried the 5 and 7.5 many times and long times, my head was always best at 10mg. The lower doses had much better side-effects, but 10mg is the best thing. At 5 for a while I would imagin things.

Just didn't feel in my comfort zone on the lower doses, I tried 15 for short trials and and fell asleap at the wheel. Plus there was little benifit. If you worry about weight gain, which can happen at 10mg, I take 5mg abilify. For less sleapy I take 300mg wellbutrin sr and less smoking. Great combo for zyprexa. Abilify is also anti-depressant unlike ordinary SSRI's, it also takes away the zombieness. Warning at high dose of abilify I had a runny nose all the time, 15mg. 10 wasn't bad, 7.5 was ok. 15mg and very low blood sugar problems.

I had that when I was on Prozac. I'd wake up with clenched teeth and freaking out as if I were under attack. Sometimes I wake up anxious now, but I think it's because I'm switching meds.
