Hi Scott,
I'm not sure why you can't tolerate ADs, if it's because of the side effects or because they increase rapid cycling.
Desipramine can really increase the cycling, if this is your problem. I've heard this is true for all the TCAs.
Have you tried stimulants before? They really helped my bipolar disorder. If I don't have ADD, I am definately on the continum towards it. But I believe the stimulants really helped my rapid cycling--keeping my energy stable, helping to prevent the mania. Let me know if you'd like to know more about it Scott.
Also read what Peter J wrote in the thread 'Drugs for Creativity', about stimulants and bipolar, if you are interested.
Good luck Scott, Janice
