I guess the only thing I can think of is use every coping skill you have.. But your already doing that im sure .

Thanks. My pdoc wants me to try a new anti-psychotic called Saphris as it has shown promise with rapid cycling. I was hesitant to make any changes during semester at university as I tend to switch when my meds are messed with. I am also concerned about this turning into a mixed episode as some of the symptoms indicate that. Mixed episodes are truly awful so I am doing my best to avoid that, although sometime the brain just does what it wants. I am taking extra zyprexa to combat the symptoms and so far at the moment they remain manageable, although still a little disressing.
