I'm usually resiliant to meds knocking me out. Hell, even a high dose of xanax does nothing to me when I'm manic. And Zyprexa doesnt make me the least bit tired. 25mg of Seroquel puts me to sleep though. However, unlike what I have heard from others, the higher I increased the dose the more sleepy it made me. I was on quite a high dose though, 800mg. I could not imagine taking this drug in the daytime. I would also sleep for about 10-14 hours a day on it too. Now I dont sleep much :(
Take care.
