In reply to cure for Zyprexa Sedation, posted by cybercafe on December 24, 2002, at 13:59:32
Several Possibilities:
-Try Geodon. I went from 12hours of sleep a night on Zyprexa 20mg to 7-9hours of sleep on Geodon 80mg.
-Try Wellbutrin. If Parnate helped you sleep less than Wellbutrin might too because both are activating ADs.
-Try Provigil. It can help counteract sleepiness. It is much better than using stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall because these are indiscriminate dopamine agonists. That means they have a huge range of effects, while Provigil is very selective at helping you sleep less. Ritalin or Adderall can actually counteract the good effects of an antipsychotic.
Just my 2 cents
