Check out the link! I have an appointment in a week so they are still accepting people! I'm praying and hoping I'll get accepted!

My Latest diagnosis is Bipolar II/Cyclothymic. Zyprexa has helped my mood swings during the day. BUT...At night, a while after I take it... I get very depressed, bordering on suicidal the last few days. I'm only on 2.5 mg. If I try and take 5 mg (the dose my doc wants me on) my words slur and I am extremely dizzy. I am very fatigued during the day, this is the case with me without meds but it's worse with Zyprexa.
Has anyone else gotten depressed on Zyprexa? I'm hoping the Modafinil will help if I get on it.

I take Provigil 100mg during the day. I have cyclothymia. The Provigil really seems to help. I also take 40mg Prozac. I have no side effects from the Provigil either. If you have anymore questions you can email me at: zeliva at sbcglobal dot net. Good luck.
