Zyprexa was my miracle med. It brought me down from a horrendous manic episode in June and enabled me to sleep blissfully every night for the next four months. I had to come off it in November though, because my blood sugars went out of control and I gained almost 20 lbs. that I could ill afford.
Of course, now that I'm off the Z I've lost the weight and gotten my diabetes back in line, but my sleep has never been the same and my moods are more unstable. Six of one, half-dozen of the other, right?
