Subject: Activating effects of olanzapineMy experience with olanzapine has been that it does cause activation and potentially hypomania in bipolar and schizoaffective patients. This often comes as a relief to patients mired in clozapine sedation, but it has possible risks of worsening cycles.

Subject: Activating effects of olanzapineThere are anecdotal reports (many members of the Lilly Advisory Board for Zyprexa concur) suggesting some activation of bipolar patients if mood stabilizers are not coadministered.
