I don't really remember. I know I wasn't sleepy immediately but I don't know when that kicked in. I was IP because I was going off a very high dose of Seroquel so everything I experienced could have been clozapine and could have been Seroquel. I was very sensitive to noise and bright lights but don't know the cause of that. One day I just suddenly slept after not sleeping well for months. Although I must have had some sedation because I don't remember sleeping pills beyond my usual klonopin. I was tapered up on gabapentin during that hospitalization too which could have been putting me to sleep. I know I was waking easily but that's always true for me when IP.
I was less sleepy in the day when I got out of the hospital and was able to move to taking all the clozapine at night.
