> As for Zyprexa, it really helps me with my sleep patterns. In addition I think it has a calming effect. However, the weight gain that comes with it (for me) may end up being a deal breaker :(

Take a look at Saphris (asenapine) as a replacement for Zyprexa. It has both antidepressant and antipsychotic properties. I don't know if it helps with sleep, but it doesn't seem to hurt it. I someone who is doing very well on Saphris and Wellbutrin. She sleeps gets 8 sleep. It shouldn't be sedating. Cognitively, she is as sharp as a tack. She thinks clearly and has lots of productive energy. She has lost the weight she gained on Seroquel and Abilify.
