>NOW SUPER SLEEPY AND FLAT

Well, you're on 20 mg of Zyprexa and 10 mg of Saphris, which is going to make you very sleepy and flat.

>AFTERNOON RESTLESNESS

May be Akithisia caused by the 2 antipsychotics you are on. Ask your doctor for some Propanalol or Cogentin or Artane.

>AND WORRY ALOT

Rumination is usually a symptom of depression or anxiety. Antidepressants are usually the best medication for these.

>WILL IT EVER GET BETTER??????

Yes, it will as long as you dedicate yourself to your treatment. You have a life long illness which requires maintenance.

What worries me is you're not on a mood stabilizer. Being on a mood stabilizer could help with your mood swings and help keep you from getting really high and really low.

Have you tried Lithium?
