Hi all ! Ok so I have been depressed for the last ten years one of my biggest symptoms has been chronic hypersomnia possibly caused by me taking Olanzapine 5mg per day. Last May (2014) I went into hypomania for five weeks probably due to the fact that I am very sensitive to light.
I then recommended that you read the book Blue light management for soft Bipolar cyclothymia. WHICH IS VERY GOOD. I also read hbomb 0903 post
how light effects those with bipolar disorder. This led me to using DARK THERAPY which helps those with mania and hypomania.
Google DARK THERAPY. since then my mood has improved a small amount
I am now sleeping or was 12 hours anight straight with no sleeping in the day.
Now three weeks ago out of sheer frustration with my depression I asked my doctor if I could try cymbyax but she was afraid it could push me into mania.
So I wrecklessly tried SAM-e without realising that according to various
web sites is not recommended for those with bipolar disorder. Not so according to the experts in the book.
I immediately went hypomanic but discontinued it 400mg a day after 7 days.
I can only say that the results are amazing.

Please read the book " STOP DEPRESSION NOW " and try it.

I feel like a new man !

good luck
