Benadryl works for me most of the time, as long as I have not built up tolerance. I would not think Benadryl would be a problem with Zyprexa. Some will say it is a problem with a MAOI. Just straight Benadryl is not. On MAOIs you have to read labels. They mix different medications together and almost all over the counter cold aids are no-nos. Don't give up on a medication that is working because of insomnia. That can be treated. I also use micro doses of quetiapine fumarate(Seroquel) from 12.5 to 25mg This just puts me down. In the past I have used trazodone at 100mg. This is a very common sleep aid for Nardil. Then there are the whole range of medications that are actually for sleep. Benzos work short time, but tolerance is built quickly to the sleepiness effect. Don't quit the Nardil. Almost everybody that uses a MAOI has to use a sleep aid. Just the way it is.
Good Luck,
Jedi
