The lithium is SOMEWHAT smoothing out the ups and downs, but I am still cycling rapidly (3-5 times a day) since I started the Remeron. The side effects I mentioned aren't a result of the LIthium, it's just something I've noticed more prominently this time around. I have always had a very overactive sympathetic nervous system; i easily blush, my heart goes nuts for stupid reasons. I'm in excellent shape too... Oh, and did I mention I have an irregular heart beat? So here's a more specific line of questioning for you... what meds help regulate NE release? what meds are good for rapid cycling? Are there any that may do both? As for the downward trend, well, what I mean is i am cycling between feeling good and bad, but the overall direction seems worse; as the days pass the good parts seem slightly less good and shorter lived, and the lows seem worse and longer.
