When I was withdrawing from zyprexa I tried seroquel. It put me to sleep but only for about 3 hours. It just wouldn't work. Tried 25mg to 100mg. I think zyprexa is deceivingly powerful.

Providing you are not taking any other meds that cause the opposite effect (and I have no ideas what those meds would be, if they even exist), you will be knocked out. You will be groggy the next day, a side effect, but there is always a tradeoff with any med.
