In reply to Rapid Cycling? - BPII, info needed, posted by Zo on July 17, 2001, at 19:38:03
Hi, Zo,
I am a rapid cycler (3-week cycles). So, besides Omega-3 you are on no meds? You are still taking your Neurontin for TLE aren't you? I forget if morning dominant depression is atypical or not-sorry. I have fluctuations during the day as well, but my cycles tend to run in groups of several days of depression, then rebounding into mild hypomania for a few days and then a fade into euthymia for a few more. Zo, was this your pdoc's idea to stop your Neurontin? Uh,oh I don't know if that was such a hot idea. I stopped Neurontin cold a couple of times and I got quite agitated, depressed, and anxious. I know your pdoc is on vacation, but if you start feeling pretty crappy you might want to restart your Neurontin.
