I went into some kind of episode... it was an unexpected mixed depression of sorts that was HIDEOUS despite all the drugs i'm on. Severe anxiety, crying, racing thoughts, and MAJOR agitation... Doc gave me Zyprexa as an emergency... took some with ativan and Bendryl and it WHACKED that episode cold ... Darn, I wish I had known about this stuff as an emergency med a year ago when I went through some of the worst experiences of my life. I have latent BP II with hypomanias and predominantly agitated/mixed depressions marked by severe anxiety. It didn't help a whole lot with the agitation, I was moving like crazy still (even though I was doped up on ativan and benedryl), but I cannot describe the change that had come over me. It's good to know that med is out there for these types of things to help me.
