When I first started Nardil ten years ago I experienced pretty severe hypomania. I have treatment resistant atypical depression which I believe lies somewhere on the bipolar spectrum. I can't remember what your diagnosis is, but for some of us the use of antidepressants will bring out hypomania or mania. Maybe a higher dosage of Zyprexa would help, or some other mood stabilizer. I know about the weight gain on Zyprexa, I gained more than 100 pounds on Nardil, before I started taking it off. Sounds to me like you and your doctor really need to take a good look at your meds.
Take care,
Jedi
PS I take Benadryl for sleep, works for me but not everybody.
