Hi all !

before I was medicated I experienced mania with delusions and psychosis
etc. I have been on 5mg of olanzapine now for 15 years and this has stopped all my manias in their tracks. This med holds you in a state of
depression which is not intolerable but just inconvenient, I am what I would describe as very slowed down. In recent times I have added to my routine the following things.

1. Dark therapy
2. A sunrise alarm to reset my circadium rhythms
3. 5000mg of vitamin D daily.
4. a daily routine
5. a strict sleep schedule every night.

I would now describe my mood as comfortably numb my symptoms are all
physical not mental. I sleep like a log .

I actually feel like I am getting on top of my Bipolar.

we shall see !

It sounds like you have a plan and that is good. I try to stick to a routing too. It is probably the best thing I do for myself.

I'm not familiar with Dark Therapy, though.
