> Racing thoughts with anxiety.. I've got rapid-cycling bipolar and in *all* my "up" phases (whether they are mixed,etc.) the RACING THOUGHTS are *always* the *common* symptom. Sometimes it's racing thoughts with anxiety/panic without euphoria or anger, other times it's racing thoughts with bubbly euphoria w/o anger or anxiety, sometimes it's racing thoughts with temper w/o euphoria or anxiety, sometimes it's racing thoughts w/o euphoria, anxiety, OR anger, and I just can't get it together and focus on anything -- a classic ADHD like thing. Let us know what they say.

I guess that probably happens quite a bit. It seems like he understands your situation and made some reasonable changes. Hope it works out OK. My bipolar is milder it is BP-II. I don't get psychotic. My mood changes fairly regularly over 3 week periods and repeats again.
