Posted on Fri, 13 Sep 2013

Question: Hello, my name is XXXXXXX I am a 58 yo white female. Gastric bypass surgery history. Ulcer history. Took Prilosec, Karafate, Protonix. I was prescribed Zydus and it kicked me into a mildly manic state. I am bipolar disorder I since 08/03. Mostly stress induced Am experiencing unusual side effects. Mild hallucinations, delusions of grandeur, epiphanys, etc. I sleep only 4 hours. Just prior to awakening, I briefly experiences these feelings. Feel total clarity and peace. Am rested with no fatigue or stress. Is there any record of this happening to anyone in clinical trials, OP studies, etc. ? Am not complaining but would like feedback. Thanks
