bipolar disorde
"I was diagnosed as Bipolar disorder at the age of 49.  I was immediately put on Zyprexa and essentially, the next four years are a blur to me.  To say I felt like a zombie is a gross understatement. I changed my Doctor and insisted he take me off the drug which he did.  I am now taking 'plain old lithium' and have been doing well for the past five years.  I understand that everyone doesn't have the same experience with Zyprexa that I had, but people should be aware that there are long-proven alternatives.  I only wish that my Doctor had considered them first."
