Well, after a few months of hell-on-earth and dealing with psychosis, I am coming out of exile. I have found an odd combo of meds that seem to help me avoid mania and psychosis. My Doc and I have found the staple of Vyvanse + Zyprexa to keep me level. I of course am on a score of other meds, benzos to take the edge off (I notice I use LESS of these when I am on the Vyvanse.) I am also on a small dose of both Prozac and Cymbalta. Being bipolar, I shouldn't really be on these two a.d.'s, but the DSM sure as heck doesn't seem to take individuality into account. I've tried lithium and Depakote/Epival but only Epival had a small effect, and it really messed with my cognition. Zyprexa 20mg's seems to prevent me from "flying high", and the Vyvanse make's sure my energy and focus are well during the day. I also take clonidine, which is so good for bad dreams/nightmares. I'd love to hear your folk's thoughts on this. Thanks..

i take 250mg Nuvigil, when it works....it gives me energy, it doenst work like vyvanse but still increases energy, vyvies are better for focus and concentration....
you should check out lamictal, or lithium that will fly the high in the sky moods back to reality....Geodon too you can take it with zyprexa even at 20mgs but it has to be low, I was on 160mg of geo's and 15mg zyprexa and I was low, but not depressed just not excited....flat, stable...
maybe you can check into that...
