4 days ago I started having a manic episode and I smacked a bunch of books of the bookshelf, threw stuff around. I thought I was so special that I could bring happiness to the world. I started having hallucinations that cars were flying outside my window. I had such bursts of energy, even in the middle of the night that would make me not stop pacing my apartment. I still feel irritable, but its been 2 days and the Zyprexa has already worked. Risperdal never helped me like this. Zyprexa also calms me. And I don't know if its the mania or the zyprexa but when I take it I feel really good. I'm finally functional again. Thanks Zyprexa.

It's great to hear the Zyprexa is working so well for you!

I know right? I have such a love/hate thing for Olanzapine. It works wonders but has **** side effects.

I love Vitamin Z. It's the glue that holds me together. Yes, I've gained some weight and have to watch my blood sugar, but that's a minor point compared with my sanity.
