I have had imsomnia ever since I can remember. As a kid, staying up till sunrise was quite fun. As an adult, its more than just a little nuisance, its an obstacle. Being on zyprexa has really helped this, and its not addictive from what I can tell.

Summary
Community reports describe near-complete termination of LSD or psilocybin effects within ~30 min after a 5-10 mg orally-disintegrating dose, usually followed by deep sleep. Controlled studies show a single 10 mg IM injection quells acute agitation as effectively as haloperidol but with fewer extrapyramidal reactions. Orally-disintegrating formulations dissolve in under one minute and reach measurable plasma levels faster than standard tablets.

I was at School one day when I asked my friend K if he had any bars (xanax) and he told me he didn't but he did pull out a bottle of pills with the name lilly 4415 on the pills during class (my school is really ghetto so SOME teachers don't really care what your doing).
I might not have been in the right mindset for this experience, nor the right setting. I had just spent the last night on caffeine, ginger root, and 150 mgs of phenylpropanolamine. Needless to say I was kind of depressed, tired, and ready for something to come over and take the edge off of the day.
Olanzapine / Zyprexa I wouldnt say has recreational potential, but it's good as medication. When taken regularly, same time every day, for 4 weeks, it gives full effect, not like anti-depressants, its very diffirent. I feel a constant feeling of slight euphoria, it helps with anxiety, nervousness, stress etc.
I have been using 10mg Olanzapine a day following a psychotic episode brought on by a few bad acid and ecstasy trips that happened over a year ago now. Since then, I have been slowly working towards reintegrating myself back into normal life, and it has to be said that the Olanzapine has helped a lot.
Zyprexa for Bipolar II and Acute Hypomania I'm a 21 year old male, a regular pot-smoker who occasionally uses psychedelics (few times a year). I suffer from severe depression and Bipolar II. Meth is a huge mistake for anyone, but it's a special kind of dumb to take it when you're bipolar.
OK, the idea to try this out surfaced from a completely rediculous assumption that it would have a sedative effect on me. I was inclined to try it after I made a girl I know (we'll just call her Gorilla Chieftain) read me the entire contents of her medicine cabinet to me on AOL instant messenger one night.
If you're looking for a recreational drug - this is not it. However, if you suffer, or have suffered from severe depression - specifically Bipolar Depression, and have found that standard anti-depressants (SSRI's) do not work, or if you are dealing with a crisis level of anxiety, depression, mania, obsession or tempora...

So I've been on zyprexa for about 5 months now for bipolar and it's been a miracle drug for me. I am naturally too skinny and in 4 months of taking zyprexa I gained 45 pounds and look and feel better than I have in years. Lately I've been depressed. I also take Adderall 20mgs, Klonopin, 6 mgs, and Zoloft 100mgs a day.
