I finally got 6 hours of sleep last night. I took 5mg melatonin and 5mg of olanzapine and, and then another 5. That did the trick.

> Couple days without sleep and people start experiencing hallunications, maybe delusions.Sometime after I fell asleep, I woke to a very realistic hallucination. It was a family member standing over me. It lasted about 3 seconds and scared the daylights out of me. Thats when I added the second olanzapine. I pay attention when psychosis/ mania/ delusions are a possibility.
