In reply to what med next for obsessive/depressive/bipolar?, posted by holymama on April 30, 2004, at 15:00:44
Hi:
Like you, I am also Bp II with ultra Rapid Cycler that is quite 'pain in the neck,' about which ONLY those sufferrs 'understand'. On top of Bp, this is quite bothersome and difficult for both pdoc. and us to deal with. However, after 5 mg. Zyprexa, my ultra cycler is much improved to 'not' having it any longer. However, there is ' the time' to control this even on the right med./med. combo., 'ultra rapid cylcer,' ... took almost one-two years after even on right med. combo. However, I finally feel almost 'normalcy' to enjoy the life again.
Then, I highly suggest any of APs, such as Risperdal(most potent AP), Seroquel(most weakest AP), Zyprexa(mid. range AP), few more newer ones, such as Geodon and Abilify.
Try to ask your pdoc. soon.
H.G.
