I do agree that antipycotics are not the best answer to sleeping difficulty. However they have helped me. I have been prescribed many benzo's for sleeping including: zopiclone, halcion, diazepam, nitrazepam, temazepam, librium etc. and none worked. However when i was prescribed 20mg of stellazine and 10 mg of olanzapine finally i managed to sleep but very uncomfortably. So they can be useful but i do agree not used as a first prescrition especially as the extrapyramidal side effects are unpleasent and seem only to be relived by additional administration of the stimulating procyclidine.
