Insomnia

I always have some amount of insomnia, but Zyprexa does a lot to control it. It's been a long time since I've had insomnia other than anxiety of having to get up early the next morning. Technically that went on last night, too, because we are going to the Harry Potter movie this morning, but I wasn't feeling particularly anxious about that. I went to bed a little after 10:00pm and probably fell asleep between 2:30am-3:00am. I took a Klonopin at one point, but it didn't help me sleep. Then I got up to go to the bathroom a little after 6:00am and couldn't fall back asleep. I got up and took a shower and then started feeling really sick to my stomach (which always happens when my body doesn't get enough sleep). I took some Zofran and so far it has kept me from vomiting. I'm feeling a bit better now, though tired. Last night I didn't take any Zyprexa -- just Abilify. It didn't make me sick to my stomach, but it obviously activates me more than Zyprexa. Medication used for sleep either doesn't work for me at all (most things) or it makes me sleep for several days (Seroquel, trazadone). That is a bit frustrating...
