I'm on Zyprexa and before being properly medicated my mood episodes lasted for months. Now I'll only be depressed or hypomanic for a few days (or even less) and I don't really get mixed episodes. Is this typically what happens when you are on medications that successfully help? I still have mood episodes -- just for much, mucher shorter periods of time. I just spent yesterday and part of the day before hypomanic, but it's already almost gone today.
