I THINK that Tegretol is the "ms" of choice for rapid cyclers if I remember correctly. I am sorry you are going through such a rough time.
Hugs,
Maxime> Thank you all. I believe I am experiencing ultra ultra rapid cycling. I wake up full of agitation (that's what wakes me up, three hours too early). I'm scared and full of terrible nervous energy. This sometimes stays all day and then I feel okay at night. Other days, I have spells of the deepest depression one minute and terror the next. Sometimes both at the same time. I feel hopeless and like I can't control my brain and sometimes suicidal because it's all driving me crazy.
