You only need a certain number of manic symptoms to qualify for a manic episode so you don't necessarily need trouble sleeping or racing thoughts, when a medication is involved it is hard to say what is a manic/ mixed state and what is medication-induced or side effects. I wouldn't worry too much about the etiology though.
what about a different antipsychotic that isn't as sedating as the Zyprexa? like Latuda or Abilify? I believe in Italy Parnate only comes in a combination that includes trifluoperazine probably for the issues you speak of.
or a benzo?
