Hello Scott,

> What happened? I thought things were going pretty good for you once you changed your weekend sleeping habits. Sorry to hear that things didn't stick.Things have gone so good Scott with the weekend sleeping habits and extra 600 mg of lithium that my rapid cycling cycle has changed--for the first time since I remember it (15 years). Now I am a completely normal person for 6 days (brand new positive change), then I am a miserable, evil woman who wants her own head off for the following 6 days.
I am hopeful.

I am wondering how long it will take for the rapid cycling to settle down into a new set routine? It has been six weeks now, and it still seems to be changing some.> Which mood stabilizers have you been on and in what combinations? How did they affect you?
I've been on Depoke????. I was unable to tolerate it, although it helped.
Now lithium. It's still seems to be settling in my system.

yes, I've tried Anafranil, Desipramine and manerix-- they all make me manic and increase cycling.> Which drugs have produced mania?
All ADs, especially the TCAs, produce mania.>

Thanks Scott, Janice
