How can i get past the sedative effects of zyprexa (olanzapine)?

A Few Tips: Here are a few "tips" that i find helpful when a patient of mine struggles with the sedating side effect of zyprexa (generic olanzapine). If you have just started treatment be patient and the sedation may resolve on its own. Try different dosing times to see if the sedation can occur while asleep. Split the dose taking half in am & half in pm. Always check with your md before making any changes.
