Hi I was on 10 mg of Zyprexa for quite some time and it really worked for my mania. I hated the weight gain though, 25 lbs of extra fat that is making me feel depressed. Anyways it started to give me muscle rigidity so I have now switched to 300 mg of Seroquel. It is knocking me flat. My PDOC said that higher dosages are supposed to be better for the somnolence, I truly hope so. I've been sleeping in and messing up my sleep patterns, thus my mood. Anyways, it does sound to me like you need to raise the dosage of Zyprexa. I wish you luck!
