As in topic, I mean comedown from stimulants. Would olanzapine work as a sleep aid to just fall asleep instead of battling comedown?
 
Zyprexa/Olanzapine will block several of stims effects:

I'd reccomend benzos, but if you dont have one or are smart enough to not get hooked on them, any ape-dope like Zyprexa, Seroquel will do. Watch your doses though. If you are inexperienced start low on that shit, it will make you a zombie for some time if youre new to it.

Sleep tight :)

EDIT:
Olanzapine will slow down the stimulants effects, and you wont feel as high anymore depending on dosages. What strength are the olanzapines? It wont be enjoyable as in coming down on pot or benzo's but it will get you down. I'd start at 5, 7.5 or 10mg if you dont use olanz that often.

As a hardened insomniac, 2.5 mg (the lowest dose they make) will knock me out solid. I wouldn't take much more than that unless you're heavily tolerant. It always took ~ 1 hour to kick in on me, so don't count on it as an emergency trip-stopper.
 
I am new to olanzapine. Usually stronger benzos work out (the only things they didn't work for were 6-apb and 3,4CTMP, but these are hardcore), but I don't have any ATM. I have a relative who decided not to take his medication (schizophrenia) because it was making him computer-sitting, only eating and sleeping zombie... He really put on weight coz of it. And tbh he's far better without the medication.

Thanks for answers, I'll start with 2,5mg. I have small troubles sleeping in general, these troubles usually get bigger when I'm coming down from stim.
 
Zyprexa is nice for coming down off amphetmines. I always use something like zyprexa+benzos because benzos alone will not put me to sleep unless I take riddiculous amounts.
 
Olanzapine works for such purposes.

By all means, start at 2.5mg, but I would not be surprised if you need more. Dose too high though, and you risk a wicked case of restless legs and you'll have just as much trouble sleeping.

I take 10mg.
 
Hrm, everyone seems to pass out when taking this stuff, except me. Goes to show that titrating doses is very important. I can down 40mg and be kept up by restless legs :-/
