In reply to S.D.- some more thoughts, posted by judy1 on January 1, 2001, at 12:52:10
Hi Judy.
More semantics... :-)
> As far as cycles, I've cycled in 1 day- and there are people who do so hourly (ultra-rapid),
The type of ultra-rapid cyclicity that produces the type of 1-day cycling you describe is considered to be ultra-dian; dian meaning "day" (as in circadian - "circa-dian").
> Anyway, one of the important factors that came out of that meeting was a ban on antidepressants and a trial on lamictal- which worked TOO well.
I am not surprised that Lamictal caused in you a manic state, if that was what you are alluding to. It seems to have some true antidepressant effects that are separate and in addition to its mood-stabilizing properties. My hunch is that Lamictal exerts some sort of pro-dopaminergic effects. I have seen some reports of Lamictal inducing both mania and rapid-cyclicity. These things seem to be uncommon, though.
