Hi Scott,
I am currently getting 9 or 10 hours but I also take 1 mg ativan at night to sleep.
I have noticed my sleep is decreasing as this irritability is increasing.How are you doing, Scott?

Still, I think it is worth the experiment to try increasing the dosage. Zyprexa more often treats mania successfully than it does exacerbate it.
