After s few weeks of it getting worse he put me back on the paxil n it took about a month to kick in. However even increasing my quitiapine I have been rapid cycling every 3 to 4 days n now I guess I m mixed because I m very upset, depressed, n agitated. My pdoc called yesterday to tell me olanzepene was approved for me n is in the mail. I m terrified to try it. I don't want to feel sick on it.

I wish I had NEVER gone off the paxil. I was doing well. Now I can't seem to do well again. I am very upset and right now feel hopeless n frightened. I m so tired of this. So VERY VERY VERY tired. Su.
Do you use any mood stabiliser? Olanzapine is not very different from quetiapine: mostly just less tiring, less antihistaminic, and it stays in your system longer.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
