I've been taking Zyprexa, 15 mgs at night for years. Idk exactly how long. Anyway, I still get this hangover effect from it the next day. I hate it, it makes me so damn tired and dragging ass. Like, I'm SO tired today and I got some sleep. 😴
But, at the same time, it's a medication that I know I need so, there's no way I'll stop taking it.
I do also take vitamin B complex, fish oil, glucosamine/chondroitn, and a women's multivitamin.
So, does anyone have any experience with Zyprexa like this? Any advice? I'm stuck on this. Thanks.
I searched on internet and found this - please click on side effects - Hope it helps
But best to talk to doctor as they can give you medicine to counter act the side effects

Hi Hidden ! Lol yes I'll tell her to hide haha! I wish you a good Sunday too 😊. It's sunny and hot over here but I oddly wish it were rainy 🌧.
Yeah I'm on it I love it at times it can make me happier and less anxiety but on the morning I'm a witch and so tired but I've been like this my whole life even before I was ever prescribed meds. But for me if I had someone to wake up to it would bring a smile to my face
I have noticed that abt half hour I take it and if I have to go get up and get something I'm so drowsy that like I m walking like I'm drunk . So I pee eat and drink before I take the med bc how it makes me feel after I take it. Does that happen to u? But my sleep is much better on this then invega or generic palperidone . When they changed me to Zyprexa I honestly loved it alot more relaxed now
Yes omg I've fallen a couple times! I definitely can't drive so, I'm always hoping nothing bad happens at night too. But truly, it's the best med for me. I get sleep too.
I don't have personal experience with this med but is it possible to to take it at a different time of day so maybe the hangover is at bedtime to help you sleep?
I guess I should have specified this but, I take it at bedtime. It just lingers on the next day so much. I mean, it's probably supposed to but, I hate feeling tired. 😕
It's the kind of tired that makes ya wanna just plop on the couch and sit, half-asleep. I suppose I always knew it did this but, it's a trade off I guess. Thanks for your suggestion!
