jarn Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) I have a history of talking in my sleep, sometimes sitting upright to do so. Last night (NYE; I had consumed a bunch of alcohol between dinner and midnight champagne) and we went to bed very late; with that said, I didn't feel intoxicated) I woke my husband up since I was trying to go outside via our bedroom window (our apartment is on the third floor). He asked what I was doing, and I said I was going outside. He told me I had to go back to bed, I said, well, I have to pee, so he told me to go do that and then come back and go to sleep. He just told me about this now. I've no memory. Edit: He said I kept walking into the window, like it was a door. I take 30mg zyprexa. I'm not sure it/it plus the alcohol caused it (I've drunk alcohol on zyprexa before), or if it were just one of those weird things I do sometimes.

Gearhead Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 If it were Ambien, I’d say welcome to the club, but Zyprexa I don’t know. Although there’s this... https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/appi.ajp.158.7.1158 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jarn Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Yeah I did some googling about zyprexa and it seems limited data. That's interesting, the link, though - I'd missed that. Toby said I looked like a moth outside of a lit room flying into a window - I just kept walking into it (it's floor to ceiling, but thankfully robust...there's also a mid-calf high radiator, which is also a good thing).

jarn Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 So...spoke to GP, who referred me to a sleep doc. Had a sleep study Saturday. Zyprexa makes me sleep like a log, so I did, even at the clinic. I woke up easier than I normally do, much to my (grateful) surprise. I got home around 6am and went back to bed. And Toby said I sleep talked! Typical, I bet I didn't at the clinic. I talk to sleep doc on February 3rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
