Thank you all for the kind replies and useful information.

Zyprexa was one of the first meds they tried when I was first hospitalized 4 years ago with bipolar 1. After 2 days i was having heart palpitations so they stopped it.

My mania today has subsided. I've only had 2 vistaril in the 2 hours I've been up as opposed to 10 yesterday (up at 4am, bed at 9pm). I dont really feel the sedative effects of vistaril. Still tinkering with the dosage.

I see my dr again tomorrow for our scheduled appt and I'll make sure to tell him every bit of what went on these last 3 days.

Thank, peace, love,
Getya
