Ok. It shoulds be noted that Depakote is effective for Acute Mania. You may see help after a few days. I am not certain Zyprexa will immediately pull you out of a swing. A Benzo would have an immediate effect though it may just calm you down. I can't see Zyprexa making you feel less depressed while calming mania immediately. But anything can happen.
