Hello Eli,

I am sorry that you are having trouble falling asleep quickly. As you mentioned, you take Vistaril and Zyprexa, and both have sedative effect. I highly suggest you take them before you go to bed, so they can help you fall asleep faster. But if it still takes a while for you to fall asleep after you take those medicines, you could read books, strech your body a little, listen to calm music (not looking at any electronics tho), and do things that relax your body and mood. Sometimes, stress of not being able to fall asleep makes us more anxious and frustrated thus more difficult to fall asleep. It is hard for me to fall asleep too, but usually I tell myself it's okay and get up and do less intense activities. Best wishes and sleep well.
