Wow, Ori, you sound a lot like me. I am bipolar 1 as well. I quit taking Zyprexa for the same reasons you did and I've dropped 20 pounds in a month. Amazing how that works, eh?
At any rate, I was put on abilify after discontinuing the Zyprexa and I felt the same way..more energy, more emotion, more human. I didn't realize how suppressive Zyprexa had been until I came off it. Abilify didn't seem to help with anxiety for me, however, and I'm now happily taking Geodon.
I'm glad that it's working well for you.
Best of Luck!
