That is how I slept, if I slept, before I started the Zyprexa. I titrated the drug from 2.5mgs to 7.5mgs at night over a period of a couple of weeks. Now, once I fall to sleep (this drug does not put me to sleep)I sleep hard and long. I've only had two occasions where I woke up after 6 hours of good sleep. The rest of my nights, have been at least 8 hours of deep sleep. I feel kind of hung over for about a half an hour upon waking. I guess my point is that I had to take more of the drug than I really wanted before it had any affect on my sleep. 2.5 and 5mgs didn't do anything to help my sleep, although I noticed a reduction in daytime anxiety within a week at the lower doses. Now that I am sleeping well, I am going to try to titrate back down to 5mgs to see what happens. The great thing about this drug for me is the affect it has on my daytime anxiety. I am virtually free of it.
