Hi Phillipa,
Unfortunately I don't. I looked up Seroquel on the manufacturer's site, and it seems they recommend dosages ranging from 25mg to 800mg a day, so I can't even guess how Zyprexa would compare.
You might want to ask your doctor if Zyprexa is something that you could try, either instead of Seroquel or in addition to it. I suspect you'd know right away whether it was helpful or not. I took 5 mg a night for a few months, but I noticed that I felt a bit too foggy during the day, so with my doctor's approval, I cut back to 2.5mg a night and that dosage has been perfect for me.
Each person's chemistry is unique, however, and what works for me may or may not work for someone else. But getting a good night's sleep is so important to my mental and emotional health, and Zyprexa really helps me.
With kind regards,
Mark H.
