I don’t have an appointment with the pdoc until last day of the month and my new medicine is giving me trouble. I am sleeping 16 hours a day. I’m disappointed, I hoped this med would work and I’vee been on everything except for a few of the newest. I’m living off cereal.

What med are you taking? Could you call in sooner and see what your pdoc or caseworker say,?
I would also recommend calling your pdoc.

The med is Lybalvi and I think there’s a chance still it can work. I’m almost completely out of options. At least I’m not feeling hostile.

Imagine you only sleept 5 hours every other day. I would be the gods most great full for geting16 hours of restfully sleep each night.
We have opposite problems at the moment but there have been times when I was sleeping most of the night and day away. It’s terrible. I’m sorry you are going through this. You said maybe there’s a chance still that it could work, do you have a plan? I was thinking you could start setting an alarm an hour earlier and slowly train yourself to wake up sooner and sooner. Do you think something like that might work?
olanzapine sleepiness is dose dependant, so you might want to discuss going a notch down on your dose with your doctor if you haven’t tried it already.
