In reply to 2-3 day cycling, posted by Rob Hallett on May 19, 2002, at 2:21:34

I have about the same cycles as you do -- 3-4 days up, then 3-4 days down. In the "up" cycles
I am more energetic than usual, but not really manic. In the down cycles, I have a pretty pronounced depression, with extreme lethargy. My diagnosis is bipolar 2; I was given that diagnosis about 6 years ago, after having a unipolar diagnosis for 10 years. I think I was bipolar all along and it took several psychiatrists before I got the right diagnosis. I am telling you this because it sounds as if you might have a bipolar situation; if you do, a whole new world of medications would open up to you (lithium, anti-seizure meds, the new antipsychotics, etc.)I wish I could tell you that I have overcome my cycling situation; unfortunately, so far, I have found meds that stop the cycling but they "flatten" me out so much I almost feel like I do when I am depressed.
So I struggle along, hoping that I will find something that will help..
