I had another hypomanic episode last night. Alien was controlling my feet, I couldn’t stop pacing and muttering to myself and to him. Had urges to laugh and yell and cry. Felt very melodramatic. Took an extra 100mg amisulpride (making it 300mg for the day instead of 200mg) and an hour later calmer.

But I heard voices for a little while. Alien screamed at me said I’m a hypocrite and pretending my illness. Made me cry, I was on floor in curled up position.

Afterwards I was exhausted and went to bed very early, about 9pm.

This morning had a tension headache and felt irritable but calm enough to function ok.

Was just wondering - I take 2,5mg olanzapine nowadays (instead of 5mg) with no problems and was wondering if it’s necessary to take it at all. I’m on such a low dose is it even necessary to take it? What does it do? Is it for mania or depression? I’m not very depressed, in fact I had more hypomania this last month than depression. Last night was third time in June.

I think Zyprexa can treat mania since it’s a calming medication. It always calmed me down and made me sleep more than normal.

zyprexa can be for mania, it can also be for depression when paired with prozac

Zyprexa treats mania and to some extent depression.
Your 2.5 mg dose could be too low.
