Bert,

At times, I have racing thoughts when I'm hypomanic. For me, Trileptal quiets my thoughts and greatly reduces my other symptoms of hypomania. Your mileage may vary.

Do your racing thoughts get more pronounced when you are hypomanic? If so, you might try adding about 900 mg/day of Trileptal. Ramp up slowly. Trileptal recently became available as a generic.

To me, your irritability sounds like a mixed state. Do you agree?

Your rapid mood swings cause me to believe that you have ultra (or ultradian) rapid cycling. Let me guess; prior to your bipolar dx you were given an antidepressant without any moodstablizers on board, true?

-- Ron

dx: Bipolar II, with ultra rapid cycling (15 days for one complete cycle), and mild OCPD

300 mg/day Trileptal
200 mg/day Lamictal
250 mg/day Keppra
60 mg/day Nardil
