I want to be a bipolar success story, but so far I am not. I am bipolar 1 and take lithium 1500 (1.1 blood serum level) mg Zoloft 100 mg and zyprexa 7.5. My lithium is that high because it had a 6 months long manic episode on 900 mg (0.8). My main problem is the sleeping. I have been on lithium for 3 years, zyprexa for 6 months. I slept 14 hours today. I don't know what to do. I have tried Geodon, Abilify, Risperdol, Latuda, Serequel, and probably others. They didn't work. Zyprexa has been a miracle in that it works but it is my main suspect for the sleeping, even though I am on a low dose (20 mg is maximum). I feel the lithium where it is at will prevent the mania just fine. I like the zyprexa because it fights anxiety. Any ideas on the sleep problem?

Maybe lower the Zyprexa dose?
