Hi all !
before I was medicated I experienced mania with delusions and psychosis
etc. I have been on 5mg of olanzapine now for 15 years and this has stopped all my manias in their tracks. This med holds you in a state of
depression which is not intolerable but just inconvenient, I am what I would describe as very slowed down. In recent times I have added to my routine the following things.
1. Dark therapy
2. A sunrise alarm to reset my circadium rhythms
3. 5000mg of vitamin D daily.
4. a daily routine
5. a strict sleep schedule every night.
I would now describe my mood as comfortably numb my symptoms are all
physical not mental. I sleep like a log .
I actually feel like I am getting on top of my Bipolar.
we shall see !
