Hey Scott,
Yeah, I rapid cycle quite a bit. BUT, I have made HUGE strides in going with a small bit of a dopamine agonist, and adding a pro-gaba powerful drug with Lyrica. The dopamine agonist lifts me greatly when my anxiety and depression sink in.
So, I think I have tamed the wild mood swings...and my god, do I feel like *myself* again! Oh...and for emergencies, like getting TOO much stimulation, I have a bit of risperidone. I NEVER thought I would get back to this point of feeling good, but not TOO good.Plus, I have a personal community worker who helps me with both existential angst, and practical problems in my life. But, grabbing hold of the biological chemistry with the new dopamine/gaba axis angle, is a step in the right direction, I think. I know Nardil has powerful pro-gaba qualities, so I am trying to simulate something similar to what you have with Nardil.
Best,
