It appears that every story is different, so I will appreciate any input from all. My husband was taking Zyprexa, (no other meds for bp)tapered off from 15mg, to 5mg over 1 year, no problems other than insominia, every now and then. Now he has been off all Zyprexa for 2 weeks. Disrupted sleep pattern, from going to sleep without a problem say at 10pm, waking up at 4am, and not returning to sleep but in fragments until time for work (6am). Now, 3rd week, Same scenario, except waking at 1am and returning to sleep in fragments. No other withdrawal symptoms, no mania, depression, anger, anything, so he's very proud of that. Would you think in about 6 weeks he might see a difference in his sleep pattern (improvement?) Would it be good for him to take something to help him sleep or would that make things worse? Your stories please!!
Thanks,
