Simply getting up to eat is a major event. Through this i also lost a job i really liked as well. Most days I don't leave the house. For some reason all the doc seems to worry about is the mania - which only happened once. Honestly I prefer that to being so low on energy. Hopefully you all can relate.

Hi skiguy18, welcome [emoji846]
I'm sorry you're experiencing lack of energy. I experience that also, some meds have made it worse than others.
Can you discuss with your doctor if there's anything else you could try or a different dosage that doesn't deplete your energy as much? Zyprexa tends to be extremely sedating
