BuSpar touts itself as being non-drowsy, but when I took it, it made me need to go to sleep right away. However, after about an hour or two, I'd be okay. It didn't work real well for my anxiety either. I don't know what would make you sleep for so long, but it is possible the buspar could be making to need to stop what you're doing to go to sleep. I had to pull over to the side of the road once when I was driving because of buspar making me sleepy (it was the only thing I was taking so I'm certain that was it!). Sorry I don't have any more help. I haven't been on Cymbalta but I've been on Effexor, and it only made me sleepy the first week I took it. I've never taken the other drugs you've listed. Could it be possible your doctor is just giving you too many drugs? 5 medications for mental stability just seems a bit much, but that's just my opinion, and I'm not a doctor.
