Well this is a very old post someone called up but you could let us know how you are doing now. I do agree with what one person said that for anyone's reference Valium is something that must be tapered off slowly because a person builds up a physical tolerance to it. Zyprexa is an antipsychotic used as a mood stabilizer. Of course there are other choices and unlike Valium its not something a person can build up a tolerance to but like any medication must be titrated down slowly regardless and replaced not stopped. If you take someone with bipolar off medications all the symptoms will return in full. I would hope by now they've changed your medications and things are more stable.

It does not matter if it worked or not, it is still a chemical being put into your body and Valum is very very physically addictive, which means your body becomes dependent on it.  Zyprexa will still need to be taperd off too.  Did they pull you off of the meds cold turkey?  I am sorry you are having such difficulties.  Have you thought about getting a second opinion/evaluation from a different doctor?  There are good and bad doctors out there!

i was going through this long b4 i was medicated, and the medication never helped i was on the meds for5-6 months and the medications never worked so how can there be withdrawl'l when it never worked in the first place there cant, ive been like this for year's and no medication's have helpedme at all so far......
i feel i'm beyond help.... and it keeps getting whorse never better
you will get the good accasuanal semi good day but never a actual good day.......

Sounds to me like withdrawl off of Valum.  Did the doctor taper you off or cold turkey it?  That is dangerous.  Valum is physically addictive on the body and withdrawl can be nasty.  How long were you on both meds?  Valum becomes addictive within 2 weeks of useage.  Zyprexa needs to be tapered off as well.   It takes 6 weeks for the full effect of Zyprexa to kick in once you start therapy on it.  Any atypical-antipsychotic must be taperd off to avoid a shock to your system and the chemical balance to your brain.  I am willing to bet you are having awful withdrawl.  I hope this helps.

I would suggest a change of doctors and get your thyroid tested Meds need to be taken on regular basis for them to work and therapy is needed as well to give you the tools to deal with being bi polar.
get the thyroid tested because it sounds like you might be having a thyroid problem with all the symptoms you are describing. Let me know what you find out.
