Hey Colleen...my son is 26 and he has been on Zyprexa and Prozac for 7 mos after a bad episode...he is fine...but, it took about 6 weeks for his sense of humor to return. And about 3 mos before the symptoms of bipolar were better...there was a gradual improvement each day... He is better than he was before the meds and we are so much more confident that there won't be another bad episode. He was diagnosed when he was 14...when he is on meds he is fine. We tried it without meds and it was a disaster..he got really manic in Nov... With meds he works, plays golf, goes out with friends, and has a normal productive life... If you felt thoughts of suicide tell the doctor asap...and don't hesitate to go to the emergency room or call someone to come stay with you if you feel like that. We are here for you...hugs, "In the time of your life, live-so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but, shall smile to the infinite variety and mystery of it." William Saroyan
