I'm bipolar. A couple of weeks ago, during a mixed manic attack, I was put on 900 mg of lithium, 10 mg of abilify, and 750 mg of depakote. While my symptoms have reduced a hundred fold, I still have problems sleeping, and am still somewhat hyper. I saw my doc this past week, and he told me to wait another week.... which is almost up. Any idea of how long these 'episodes' last? Anyone?
