I'm a 20 year old guy that was diagnosed this year with a form of the bipolar spectrum that falls between BD2 and Cyclothymia. I've taken Lamotrigine for quite some time to control the depression/dysthymia episodes, however, my psychiatrist want's to put me on Olanzapine to control the hypomania. My hypomanic episodes aren't that severe, It's just that they are interfering with my sleep/energy cycles. I'm afraid that if I take it i'll feel "empty" and anhedonic like I did after taking Quetiapine (Another 2nd gen antypsychotic) and Mirtazapine (Antidepressant)
I was wondering if anybody here that has taken any 2nd gen antipsychotics, specifically Olanzapine, could share his/her experience with it.
Also, this is my first post here, be kind
