It could be worse, Trish, you could wake upItchy Itchy Itchy
I don't know if this will work for you, it does for me.
Keep a glass of water next to your bed and drink it as soon as you wake up. I drink several glasses but to tell the truth this is mainly due to horrendous thirst due to Olanzapine and Lithium. Throughout the day I find that drinking some water improves my mood. For me it works immediately.
I wish you a speedy recovery

900 mg Lithium
7.5 mg Olanzapine (decreasing)
