Experiences with Zyprexa instead of Seroquel?

Hi everyone,

I’m still struggling with the extreme grogginess from Seroquel. I added the medication in December to stabilize a manic episode and it works to knock me out but sometimes too well. I have to stick to a schedule of taking the medicine between 9:30pm-10:00pm and be in bed by 11pm. If I deviate at ALL, I’m significantly slowed down the next day. Especially if I don’t get the full 9-10 hour sleep cycle.

I am the primary caregiver for my 3 year old so deviations in the evening medication schedule are unpredictable.

My Dr mentioned Zyprexa might be better. If you’ve switched between the two, what was your experience?
