"i&#039;ve been on this drug for a manic episode.  i was given 15 mg. which did wipe out the mania.  now i&#039;m on the other side, the depressed side.  i asked for prozac but the doctors insisted that a low dose of olanzapine would stabilize the depression.  my depression is reactive:  i sold my house and moved to another state to be closer to my job.  i have hardly any friends here as i&#039;m starting over.  it remains to be seen if this low dose at 2.5 mg. will help with the depression."
