I hear success stories from my therapist and pdoc, but the majority of people on this forum logically post because they are unsuccessful. I also rapid cycle, and with my pdocs help only treat episodes because I can't handle all the side-effects of meds, and quite honestly although they may have controlled symptoms I was so drugged I couldn't really function. I try to keep my stressors down (that seems to greatly impact my episodes), keep to a regular sleep cycle and do take truehope supplements. do you have specific times of the year when things get bad? (for me May means mania)- and I'll step up my therapy visits to try and head it off. hope some of this helped-judy
