Whats the best most productive way to get rid of the extra energy from mania?
Other antipsychotics may help, too..but zyprexa most effective, apparently, for true Manic Panic...ie/ 'mania' overdrive.
Depends on how manic you are? Are you to the point where it is dangerous mania? Then you may need to seek help. It's always best to consult with a professional about what's best for your individual case when dealing with mania.
If you're talking about hypo-mania that you want to "burn off" extra stuff, then consult with doc about exercising, and for your mind then whatever creative things or mental things that stimulate you, as long as it's not risky. What "productive" activities do you enjoy? Or creative things do you like to do? Painting, art things? Writing, reading certain subjects? I like researching the heck out of things when I get hypomanic.
Exercise (olympic sex or cleaning)
a heavy meal / full stomach
