Thanks for the reply. Its a bit different here in Australia. Zyprexa has approval for maintanance bipolar therapy now, for both depression and mania. So all the psychatrists are going ape over it lol. Depakote suites me fine I dont really have any side effects from it, not even weight gain, I guess I am lucky. But zyprexa, gosh it has made me gain so much weight. I dont know what my doc will put me on net but I 100% agree with you, antipsychotics in bipolar shouldnt be used long term. Unless of course there is no other option. I dont know, maybe he might put me on Tegretol with Depakote next? Ill have to wait until this coming wedensday but I will post when I find out.
Thanks again and take care.
