how many times u sleep a day(24hr).how do u cope with it…???

Zyprexa is a especially sedating med. Mine isn’t. I sleep 8-9 hours a night.

I sleep 12 hours, but it’s not because of the meds. I take Abilify which is supposed to be activating (the opposite of sedating). I also take an antidepressant.
Why do you take anti anxiety med? Did you feel anxious before?

My seroquel is a big sedator too. Would like to know why they sedate too.

I take abilify 15mg, Atarax 10mg 2x per day, Zoloft 100mg, and Benadryl 25mg 1-2x per day. I’m always sleeping and low motivation
