> Hi, finally first time in my life something other than an upper or a downer's helping me, that being zyprexa. I take 10mg at night which is beautiful for sleep but doesnt seem to carry over much in the day for the above probs. Might add 5mg in the morning. Also take modafinil (which I think Im gonna stop, just doesnt seem to do anything) dexedrine which IS DEFINITLY making this state worse, but combined with enough clonazepam/ zyprexa, voilla! Still might stop that, addictions not where I wanna head. Finally fluoxetine which I have no idea what its doing if anything.

> I see my doc tomorow and Im just wondering what I should ask for/ helped others. My uncle is doing well on lithium, and I have been diagnosed with Bipolar before and never tried it, and I know its used to jumpstart ad's. But is it specifically effective for agitated anxiety? Is a lithium/ zyprea/ prozac combo done/ no contraindictions? I guess what IM looking for is blockade of excess dopamine, thats my theory anyway. I have lots of tics, repetitive movements, jaw clenching, pacing, poor speech control, and pessimistic / agitated anxiety and social phobia. Its tuff but hey, Im finally gettin somewhere.

> Thanks for the help. Tomey john how r u? do u remember me? where have you been , you have been ausent for a lot of time. I used to tell you I had the same problem than you. I can´t believe you are doing better , I remember mirapex was the only med that helped you in the past and it was only for one day. It´s good to see how you are achieving a little bit of peace. that´s give me hope
