"i am 27 and have been dealing with manic depression for most of my life.i take lamictal 250mg, and wellbutrin 300mg. i was very recently put on zyprexa for the first time after a suicide attempt and hospitalization. i was very reluctant to try it because i&#039;ve read all the side effects. i tried it (2.5mg). i have to admit it changed my life after one (low) dose! it was like i went to bed hanging on by a thread and woke up with all my strings attached. i saw quick results. no waiting for a month to see if it will work. since i have only been taking this medicine for a week, i haven&#039;t had any side effects yet. so far, it has really, really been a miracle. mood stability has always been a really huge issue for me and this has taken care of it."
