Like a Freight Train...

Well I stopped taking Xyprexa for sleep and stability due to the side effects.  I take it intermittently with/without Prozac to get out of a funk; Xyprexa alone for ANY funk, Xyprexa AND Prozac for deep depression funk.   But now, like a freight train, mania has taken over.  I overshot the middle ground.  First 5am Sun and Mon, 3am Tues and today 12:30 am.  I go to bed around 9pm so it is pretty short sleep time now.  The mania and a little euphoria has kicked in.  But any good feeling is wasted because I am getting fatigued.   This is a familiar cycle.  I get to manage this the rest of my life, no doubt.  Starbucks opens at 5am so I will be there and off to work.  I am very fortunate to have flexible hours.  I muse about what I would do with this time if I didn't work.  It would be really hard.  You ahve to do SOMETHING and since my family sleeps I have to stay pretty quiet.  Ah.....notfound404
