Maybe ditch the prozac or the zyprexa, and replace with depakote? I've followed your posts most of this year and I'm a little bit astounded that you do not have a mood stabilizer on board. Mood stability seems to be one of your biggest challenges. Zyprexa as a mood stabilizer is obviously not doing the trick for you. The other meds could actually be making mood stability worse, probably prozac more than anything.
Depakote would go well with the benzos and allow you to take lower doses of them. I just really think that more than anything you need something that will smooth things out and get rid of all the weird stuff, and depakote can do that, with few to no side effects. It can help a lot with all of the symptoms I have seen you describe over the last few months.

Matt,
You probably feel like you are the most unstable but I know I have felt that way at times too.
I am so sorry you are feeling so bad.
I think it's time for you to get a serious evaluation/possibly be hospitalized until they can get you stabilized. You might feel like a new person if you can just get away from all the stressors and focus on getting completely well.
I am praying for you!

i've been there. too many times. it's an awful feeling. i tend to agree with someone who suggested it might be the fault of your meds. sometimes i think some of the meds make me crazier than i am all on my own!!
i hope you can get help. can you talk to your family? call a T/pdoc? when all else fails, you can walk into the ER and they'll take care of everything. (I think you're under age? they can call your parents for you.)
good luck. and keep us posted!
take care of yourself,
ghost

I hope you get some help soon. Sometimes we have to go to where the help is because people do not know that we need help.

I have been through hell with mind instablity. I cant explain it. I metaphorically use a rope bridge over a valley, that sways, you have to hold on, thats my inner mind.
What will happen when you fall off?
I logailly battle thoughts of irrationalty. You have to take mind over matter. Or into the depths of fear and panic of going insane.
I am balanced for now. I am coming back to normal. But I have to battle this, i dont know what to tell a mental hospital, they may just tell me the same thing over, panic and hypomania.
One thing i do not want to be commited.
But im riding this out.
Ill post soon
Matt
