Thanks..and even if everyone may not agree, I believe Dr. Phelps site, http://www.psycheducation.org/
is quite an interesting read. Many seem to think he makes blanket statements, but actually he has a LOT of *exceptions* to his particular treatments. I personally also think that rapid cycling can take place in non-BP diagnosed folks..as in so-called 'unipolar' depressives. I think that may be part of the reason so many unipolars often have a difficult time, at one point or another, with their antidepressant. In fact I think that possibly a long acting benzo like clonazepam, which is also used in BP, often treats the rapid-cycling-type episodes in Dx'ed 'unipolar' depression.(Especially dysphoric anxiety moods) IMHO...etc..
