I would take a crumb of zyprexa to make me sleep.

Eric, you asked this before, and I will repeat that you should try 15 mg of Remeron as it is relatively easy to withdraw from. You can't just go on and on without sleep...you're harming yourself. I strongly urge you to go see a doctor right away. I know you have worked hard to get off of meds, but sometimes you have to backpeddal a bit. I once went ten days without sleep before my brain gave in and started sleeping again. Three weeks sounds really dangerous...and unnecessary.
