   Starting this afternoon several people noted to me that   
   my right eye was partly closed, and I confirmed that   
   in a mirror.   
      
   This evening I went to a walk-in clinic and the doctor   
   told me it wasn't due to an infection or a stroke and   
   that I should just wait four or five days and that if   
   it hadn't improved by then I should see my family doctor.   
      
   I have bipolar affective disorder and am on 1250 mg   
   divalproex sodium and 10 mg olanzapine nightly and   
   wonder if either medication might be contributing   
   to this drooping eyelid, known as ptosis?   
      
   If it hasn't improved by tomorrow (Friday) morning   
   perhaps I will make an appointment for early next week   
   with my family doctor, and then cancel that appointment   
   if the condition has improved by then.
