They're not really supposed to cause personality changes -- although relieving mania or psychosis will cause some changes, of course. What it sounds like, though, is that it's too sedating for you.
There are other atypical anti-psychotics which may cause less sedation, such as Abilify, Seroquel, or Risperdal. Seroquel does cause some sedation, and can be used to help with sleep, but your mileage will vary. Abilify is the least sedating, most activating, of the three.
What symptoms are you taking Zyprexa for?
Hope that helps.
