BP is nothing to play with, the more cycles you have to more you will cycle, the qquicker the cycles will happen, and the highs and lows will will become more pronounced. This is called kindling.

Geodon, which I now refer to as an evil Satanic vile substance, caused this type of thing in me. This drug caused an Amphetamine-Like effect in me the next day when I took it. It felt like I was on Speed/Coke or something.

My doctor prescribed it to me with Lexapro when he started me on Topamax just because I had a moderate depressive episode (when I had been on Lexapro for only 2-3 weeks right before it fully kicked in). He had me take it every night to help me calm down and help me sleep.

I took the Geodon for 6 weeks at the time, and after 2 weeks, I started to get manic as hell and go Berserk. I had a Manic Attack later. Then I noticed that I started to have more frequent cycles, quicker cycles, and up 'n downs eventually became more pronounced.

After being off it for about a year, my bipolar cycling seems to have permanently worsened. I've always had Ultra-Rapid, sometimes Ultradian, cycling bipolar disorder. But now, in this case, the cycles are now quicker, more pronounced, and more frequent. I'm now more sensitized to mood cycles whereas before Geodon it took a lot more to cause a mood cycle.

Geodon is an EVIL vile substance made by the Devil.
