Anyone else on olanzapine for bipolar maintenance? If so, how much?

I am currently on 5mg in the morning, and 10mg at night, and I am already feeling a difference after only 3 days It mellows me out pretty good, as I am predisposed to mania more so than depression. My paranoia, my agitation, my irritability, and even my thoughts over all are much more calmer.

NO more giving people the number 1 sign while driving (thank you, Jackie Chan!), much less road rage in general, and no more thoughts of over-turning the shopping cart of the nosy-lady-that-stares-at-me-too-much, and slinging her goods across the store

Hope it gets better, still lots of room for improvement.

Thank you for sharing, I look forward to your stories
