Hi sdjeff,
After not sleeping for about 2.5 months, I was prescribed the Zyprexa (20mg). I took an initial dose which brought me down from my mania/manic delusions. The 2nd dose made me sleep for 22 hours straight. Of course, that was an "emergency" dose,
to essentially keep me out of the hospital. Subsequently it has been lowered significantly. I now take 2.5 mgs every other day, and will be off it in a week or so, replaced by a small dose of geodon. Hope it works out for you; the side effects are, in my opinion, worth it.Man-oh-man
