.....I had to go and take my pdoc literally and stop the Zyprexa totally. He wanted me to wean myself down because it's messing with my diabetes, but I decided to try a few nights off of it to see if I could manage.

Well, it's been a disaster---I can't sleep worth a damn, keep having disturbing dreams and waking up, and as soon as I clear the cobwebs out of my brain in the morning I'm all amped up and can't wait to get moving. Hello, hypomania!!! I'm just glad I waited till the long weekend to experiment, because with the lousy sleep I feel like a bomb has gone off in my head.

Tonight I'm gonna take the fargin' pill and SLEEP. Maybe then I'll be fit to go to work and make a contribution.....I can't believe this happened so fast. Two days off Zyprexa and I go all wacky, three days and I'm hypomanic---is that supposed to happen so quickly? WTF??!
