Hi Janice,
Don't give up hope, I have been a Rapid Cycler for years, I have been hospitalized 4 times and I finally found out I am not able to take any of the meds for it. I stopped taking everything except my Xanax, and the rapid Cycling went away, I am now just a Manic-Depressant. It turns out, mine was medication induced. Since November 1999 I have been drug free except for the Xanax, and after 10 years I am now VERY happy, I can think clearly and I am working. Something I never thought I could do again. My Head was too messed up and I was cycling WAY to fast. never knowing what each day would bring.
I would of never known the Rapid Cycling part was drug induced, until one day I could not wake up at all, it lasted about a week and I was falling into things. Finally I called the doctor and was immediatly placed in the Mental Hospital and detoxed. They said my blood was highly toxic from trying so many different meds and all were allergic reactions and I thought it was normal, They said if I hadn't called when I did, I would not of woke up again.
Doing this drug free, I have my mind back and lost the weight from the other meds and I am very Happy.
Best of luck to you Sweetie.
