Is Zyprexa Effective In The Treatment Of Insomnia?
i have been prescribed Zyprexa for insomnia. After reading about it, I see nothing that mentions that it can be used for sleep. i don t like the things i m reading about it, since I do not have any of the problems that are mentioned. Can you give me any further info?
Zyprexa is meant to be used as an antipsychotic; mainly for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with severe manic episodes. I wouldn't take it for insomnia. There are a lot of sedatives your doctor can prescribe you: Restoril, Rozerem, Vistaril, Lunesta... and one more drug zolpidem (brand nake zolepress) is good as it don't have hangover effects in the morning, note: please consult a good psychiatrist, and skip to another good drug . I hope you happy with information kindly rate it. thank you.
