Hi again,
> > > a psychotic reaction to drugs indicates Bipolar Disorder I *if* the manic reaction persists after the offending drug is discontinued.Here's where I'm confused. When the offending med (parnate) was dc'd, I was no longer manic.
Still think I'm bi-polar I?
> Are there people around you who you trust to identify the emergence of another manic episode and who you would listen to?
This is tricky. My family suffered greatly as a result of my "episode". Nine months is a long time to witness a family member live in a fantasy world. However, my family is close enough that it would be noticed and acted upon early this time.
>sick mind doesn't know its sick.
I cant emphasize this enough. Experience tells me I would not listen to anyone unless given an ultimatum of some sort.

> Are there any concerns you have with using Zyprexa for the long term? Weight-gain? Diabetes?Yes. But I would deal if need be. Abilify gave me bad akathisia, I mentioned my poor reaction to Geodon. I would stay on Zyprexa for the duration. And maybe a mood stabilizer. What would you recommend?
