I am currently on 450 mg of Seroquel at bedtime. My understanding is that even though Zyprexa has a longer half life than Seroquel, it is not nearly as sedating. I tried Risperdal (which has a longer half life) for example, and it didn't even touch my insomnia. I have tried all of the natural remedies such as melatonin, 5-htp, kava kava, chamomile, l-theanine, etc to no avail. I would be open to the nortriptyline idea but TCAs overall scare me from a side effects perspective.
