Sleepiness is one of the side effects of Zyprexa; weight gain is one of the other biggies with being on this drug. Ryan was on it for about 6 months and gained 40 lbs. during that time. I remember he would get up during the night and go get something to eat and then go back to sleep. And the next morning he would not remember doing that.
I know that there is also current litigation against the manufacturer of the drug because of the weight gain and the increase in diabetes among people who have taken Zyprexa.
I'm not trying to scare you by telling you these things - just sharing what I know and what Ryan went through while on it.
