I would like to expand on what Linkadge said.
First, instead of putting all the focus on hard drugs, maybe try some things that are harmonious with natural biochemistry. Melatonin for example. Low dose 5htp possible (10mg-25mg). Magnesium with glycine or gaba or all three together. One of these normal bodily things could be at fault in the first place, and any drug will only attempt to mask it but not fix a thing.
I'm sure everyone has a different experience on zyprexa. For me it was always a reliable sleep aid throughout 8 years without next day grogginess. I found it had far less next day sedation than remeron. Remeron to me was tons more powerful in that regard. Both had a similar waking grogginess stuffiness kind of feeling, but with zyprexa it was gone after the first coffee. That's just my experience though. Sleep was good and constant. I did sometimes have vivid evil dreams which I didn't like. I also tried seroquel and found it left me in a total daze like I was seriously drugged all the next day. Zyprexa never did that to me. So my experience was different than Linkadge in that regard.
