IMHO, Zyprexa is the best med for BP II symptoms. I tried a lot of meds before the Zy, but nothing even came close to working as well as it has. I've been taking it for about 15 months. It does cause weight gain for a lot of people so you have to be very disiplined in your eating and exercise habits. Topamax as a mood stabilizer can help with the weight gain too.
