Bipolar Disorde
"I have Bipolar Disorder and Generalized Anxiety. I take bupropion daily and Xanax (0.5-1 mg as needed) usually twice a day. I started 3 days ago on 5mg olanzapine (@bedtime) .  Wow.  Noticed much more stable mood on day 1.  Today is day 3 and again, very stable mood and sleeping through the night since starting and am VERY happy with these results so far.  I have not had a need for xanax since starting. The only side effect I am experiencing so far is fatigue in the morning hours - no change in appetite or other effects mentioned by others in this column.  I will post again in a few months to update my results.  "
