HOWEVER, by the end of two weeks I had to D/C the med due to tongue movements and reemerging TD symptoms. I was very sad to give up this med. It was the first in a long time that help with depression and distorted thinking. I wasn't on it long enough to see if it made my cycling worse...though I did have one very stable week on it, after I had adjusted to it!

> This is probably not much help. Just wanted to relay my experience, and tell you to hang in there. Keep in touch with your pdoc and keep a good record of your moods.
> I hope things get better for you...
> ChloeThanks so much for all your responses. I talked with my nurse today and she said to give it 2 more weeks. I am going on vacation this next week so maybe it will be a good distraction. Until then I am doubling up on my Klonopin everytime I feel myself going into a severe mania. It felt good to hear about others experiences. Thanks again so much from the bottom of my heart!!!!
