In reply to cure insomnia caused by withdrawal from Zyprexa, posted by ttt on November 18, 2001, at 19:35:04
quicky reply:
can you take something like ambien for a while?I take zyprexa too, and would not like to find
out that it causes rebound insomnia when I stop.
I was previously taking Remeron primariy to help my
crummy sleep. I dropped Remeron when
I started Zyprexa becuase it seemed to fix my
sleep also and I thought that the Remeron was
just a redundant medication. (The remeron did
nothing for me except help my sleep).-john

I took Seroquel and was able to get some sleep but I did not feel normal and did not like the side effects and had to ween it off. Beside I do not seem to get any benefit from anti psychotic med. I have a hard time weening off seroquel mainly due to chronic insomna. The idea of depending of med to sleep is simply killing me.
