It's a pretty good long-term solution for me since I can't eat nearly enough when I'm not on meds and Zyprexa places me somewhere on the lower end of the normal weight range (at least 10mg did, will have to see about 5mg). It also helps a lot with my not so serious psychotic and psychotic-ish symptoms and my IMHO way too serious hypomania. And it seriously reduces my agitation (bodily and mental). The downside is that is drains me of the little energy I have, so I want to replace it with a different AP or anti-manic.
