I slept 13 hours last night:-( On Geodon I was sleeping only around 7 hours, starting to wake up after around 5 hours of sleep (unmedicated I usually sleep 9-10 hours). Zyprexa makes me sleep too much... I don't know how I will make it to my 7:45am eye dilation appointment Friday because too little sleep makes me sick to my stomach and I sometimes vomit. I'll try to go to bed really early, but I usually take my medications at 9pm. Geodon was very stimulating for me, and from what I've read it seems some other people have had that effect, as well. My obsessions and anxiety were so much worse on Geodon than Zyprexa. The obsessions were just so unbearable and I felt out of control. I'm hoping I can cut back to 5mg of Zyprexa without my obsessions/anxiety getting worse or going into a mood episode. Hopefully taking less of Zyprexa will also not make me sleep as long.
