Mr. Sandman
I'm still geting used to these meds. I do like that it works very fast for me. After two days of taking it my concentration and appetite has improved, and I don't have as many hallucinations. I still have a little trouble distinguishing reality from fantasy. Sometimes I believe my dreams really happened, and it takes days sometimes weeks to realize the truth. I know these meds are basically experience but,m for now, I think they'll do fine. The only trouble is the sleeping. I slept for 12 hours.A hard sleep. I'm not a light sleeper but I can usually hear the phone ring but with this, I can't hear anything. I had to turn my alarm clock up because I will sleep right through it. Maybe during my next appointment I'll see if I can get something that doesn't knock me out.

I had 'vivid' dreams with Effexor about 3 years ago, and that was the reason why I didn't want that this time around. My doc gave me Zyprexa becuase I wasn't sleeping and I didn't have an appetite. Even though I've only been on it for about a week now, last night was the fist time I didn't sleep for 12 hours. I only slept for 10 :)
