Zyprexa was given to me in addition to my present Xanax script, due to added stress in my life. It made my tongue swell, but I don't remember it for sleeping purposes. They took me off it and upped my Xanax to 4 x's daily from. Hopefully other members have an answer for you.

I was on it for bipolar to help with my manic episodes. It can make you tired so maybe that's why it was given to you.
Depakote 1250mg
Lithium 600mg
Lunesta 3mg
Ritalin 40mg
