Just thought I'd share that I've gotten good results from taking a "mere" 2.5 mg of Zyprexa a few hours before bedtime, then Klonopin (1 mg) right before turning out the lights for the night. My pdoc said the Zyprexa quiets my mind and the Klonopin quiets my body! Whatever ... it works (knock on wood it remains so, although I hope my "regular" non-medicated sleep cycle returns).

I agree. Zyprexa is awesome. Granted, it's not for everyone. But I think it is far better for a majority of people than just about anything else I can think of, in my own opinion and observations. Like you, 2.5mg worked great for me. After a month or so though it didn't seem to have the same power any more. Since then I have been at 5mg which has been working wonderfully for many months. I can't even imagine life without Zyprexa. I never want to go back to that dungeon in hell and that insomnia that existed before I met Zyprexa.

Yes, Zyprexa is awesome (though not for everyone!) Interesting that at first, 2.5mg worked great for you. I've heard that it loses power after awhile so I may have to go up to 5mg, but that should be it.
Like you, I can't even imagine life without Zyprexa. (and combined with the Klonopin, the syynergistic effect is very good). I do want to go back to the bottom of the well or that awful insomnia that plagued me before I was given Zyprexa!
