ultra, ultra, and ultra rapid cycling

Posted by alchemy on October 22, 2010, at 16:20:53

I am now to the point that I seem to have a rotation every 3-4 days; sometimes a dip or two during the day, and sometimes minutes or seconds.

I look for page after page for any research or treatments. And this is all that I find:

~ It is very difficult to treat & has a poor prognosis
~ Theories that antidepressants contribute
~ Mostly women
~ Lamictal is probably the best med to try
~ mid-90's studies: Nimodipine (a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker for high blood pressure.) probs & got no where
~1998 A possible gene: Ultra-ultra rapid cycling bipolar disorder is associated with the low activity catecholamine-O-methyltransferase allele.
