A member asked:
Can zyprexa (olanzapine) work for acute maniac and depressive episodes of bipolar ? and how much does it take to recover from bipolar
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unknown: there is no cure for bipolar just management of the symptoms Often you cannot come off the medication but you can get to the lowest dose possible Also if you do stop you need to know when to start again Go to another provider for a second opinion whether you are bipolar or not since it is a lifetime diagnosis
