Hi AMD.I'm not sure what to make of what happened to you, except that mania can certainly account for it. You should really discuss this with your doctor. On the positive side, Zyprexa is an excellent drug to attack an acute manic episode. It can help one to think more clearly and reduce manic thoughts and behaviors.
Please continue to post as frequently as you feel the need to. I can guarantee that your memory functions will remain intact after all of this. Mania can often wreak havoc with memory, and can cause a "blackout" of things that occured during the manic episode.
Good luck.
