I was wondering if anyone could share their experiences with Zyprexa for bipolar disorder. My doc wants to start me on 2.5 mg. I wouldnt say that I have raging symptoms precisely but do experience significant mood swings from fleeting euphoria/hypomania to most of the time- depression in all of its wonderful shades of grey. I have definitely had manic episodes, most recently two months ago,
for an entire week which culminated in sheer hell as it topped off (I could literally not shut up and felt like my head was in fast forward).... Would like to avoid something like this in the future.
Ah yes, and the constant recurring anxieties.....If my sitch is currently not too bad should I hold out? Is there anything to be gained from waiting to treat a lack of mood stability? I so much appreciate all input!
