Had anyone had experience with either of these two drugs causing you to sleep all the time? I never seem to wake up. Nap all day and sleep at least 11 hrs at night. Any way to counteract it without drinking a ton of coffee?

Zyprexa can be terribly sedating. Have you been taking it for long? For me at 5mg it was to a point where I could not function ... couldn't talk, could barely walk and to very basic stuff. It was as if the majority of my brain was contuously numed.
For me the solution was to stop because I ended up with seizures but sometimes its better to start at a lower dosage. Apparently the sedating effect goes away eventually. I didn't take it long enough for that to happen.
