It's been 4 weeks since I stopped the Zyprexa...and I'm exhausted beyond belief. Initially not sleeping much was fine because being alert during the day was worth it, but now it's caught up to me. I tried taking Zyprexa once and while it let me sleep, I felt groggy the next day and napped. Then I tried half a dose and it knocked me, but I kept waking up and was groggy. Finally, I resorted to lorazepam which REALLY knocked me out but made me so sick in the morning that I'm never taking it again. Last night I finally fell asleep of my own accord, but kept waking up after 6 hours.
What confuses me the most is that when I'm manic, I won't sleep much, but I'm not tired. In this case, I'm tired when I go to bed, I just can't sleep. So I don't really think I'm manic, especially since I can't say I have racing thoughts throughout the day...it's very confusing.
