Hello, I am Bipolar II with rapid cyclying and hard to treat mood disorder. I have been on depakote, trileptol, wellbutrin, prozac, paxil, zoloft, tegretal and am currently on zyprexa and prozac. This is my second time on Zyprexa, the first two weeks on it I feel GREAT, I actually feel alive...which I have hardly ever felt. Then, like clockwork it just seems to stop working, I fall endlessly into a depressive pit and become extremely angry. But, if an increase of Zyprexa takes place, I will feel good again for a couple weeks, and hence the roller coaster cycle....was wondering if anyone else has gone through this. It is SO frustrating because I finally have something that works and then it stops. Also, does anyone know the highest dose of Zyprexa allowed? I have read 20mg, but I know that doesn't always stand true with drugs...I'm just sick of feeling like such loser, I just want to find something that works!!!!!!!!!!!
