Sounds like you know a lot more about this then I do. But I feel different everyday. Never depressed though but my heart rate is usually pretty high but sometimes I just get these random shots of adrenalin then it really goes up. How old are you though? And whats your name?

Yes I have a rapid heartbeat too, I don't stop moving though but even when I am laid down it goes fast and I have palpitations, yours sounds like tachycardia that needs treating though.
I am taking depakote and seroquel and I feel ok on them. I have been on zyprexa before, I was very drowsy whilst taking it, and put on a lot of weight. I did find it was good during a manic crisis though to knock me the hell out!
Are you feeling any better today?

Hello, I think there's a few of us that can relate :)
Do you take any meds? Are you feeling quite scared right now or just in need of a chat?
I like the speeded up feeling, its my behaviour and impulses that I find scary.
