There is nothing more effective for me that zyprexa. It knocks out mania or hypomania like nobody’s business for me. And it is fast-acting. But I eat until my stomach feels like it will burst. I can’t handle it.

I had to call and shake a prescription for Zyprexa out of the back up pdoc once to knock down my hypomania. I took it for a month, refilled it, and stashed the refill away for the next time, if it ever happens again. I hope not; I hope the lithium prevents any more problems.

I mean, along with therapy too, to deal with my broken way of thinking about things.
