I've been on the cusp of a manic episode for a few weeks, but the meds and my sleep schedule have thus far prevented it from happening. I did have a week of hypo, but even that wasn't too serious. It's almost like I can feel the meds working. I very recently cut down a tiny bit on the Zyprexa per my pdoc's OK, but so far nothing's happened except I'm not quite as sluggish in the AMs as I was, which is exactly what I wanted to happen. But yeah, I know what it's like to feel like you're on the edge of an episode and yet you don't tip over into it.
