"zyprexa is the only antipsychotic that doesn&rsquo;t make me feel like a zombie! i kept my personality and my energy. it almost feels like i don&rsquo;t take an antipsychotic. i take 7.5 mg, because my psychiatrist told me that when you take less then 10 mg daily, the risk of metabolic syndrome is low. 

it&rsquo;s very good for treating mania and it augments the effect of my antidepressant. the only downside is that it&rsquo;s a little bit difficult to wake up."
