Thanks for your reply.
I do have rapid cycling bipolar but that happens over weeks or days but not during the same day. I don't think these shifts are 'rapid cycling' in my case. I think its the Ritalin dosing. This is a new thing for me- since I started Ritalin. I'm just not sure how to dose it. Maybe its when it wears off that my mood worsens- not sure???
I have tried Parnate but I couldn't tolerate the sedation and hypotension.
Thanks
