I went from sleeping 10 hours a night to 8 or less simply from adding decent, regular exercise. Even come down in my meds but I’m a bit older ( 50+ ). It was a marked difference just getting a bit fitter.

Yeah, Seroquel is known for making you drowsy and sleep for many hours. When I was on 600mg, I was sleeping 12+ hours. On 400mg now, I sleep 8 - 10 hours.

Seroquel is awakening meds and keeps me from sleeping like most sec. gen do to me.
I’m dropping the quell and keep my long acting injection.

I was sleeping 12 hrs a night for a long time, been sleeping less long most nights lately but it happens

Yes it’s a long acting formulation but I take a reduced dosage so basically instant release and only once in the morning not twice daily still messes with my sleep but definitely helps me get out of bed but in a way that I never end up having enough sleep

I slept 12 to 14 hours a day on 20mg olanzapine. When my symptoms receded I came down on the medication, eventually to 5mg where I slept 8 hours a day but had a hard time getting up in the morning.

Yes I sleep 12 hours from zyprexa most days. Some random times I sleep like 8-9 hours though, I wish it was like that all the time.

I slept 16 hours last night.

It can vary greatly from day to day in my case.
