Hi Heather,

I'm BPII and a *very* rapid cycler. They actually have a word for the extreme rapid cycling. Ultridian. Isn't it nice to have a special name?

I take Lamictal for the rapid cycling and it works wonderfully! Better than Depakote did.

I have found that too much AD causes cycling. I still have to take an AD because I am definitely a depressive BP, but I don't take high dosages. From what I have observed here and in my support group, Effexor is a very stimulating AD. Perhaps a lower dose, or less stimulating AD?

I also took Neurontin at one point and it didn't seem to do anything for the cycling, at all! Lamictal has really been a lifesaver.

I hope you find the right combination,


Morgana, BPII – Nardil, Lamictal & Verapamil
