Hi,
I used to have "ultra-rapid cycling" which was very similar to what you're describing. I think I was on depakote, klonopin, risperdal and effexor at the time. Once I stopped all anti-depressants I wasn't as unstable and fell into a more traditional rapid cycling- about 2 weeks of mania, a month of depression. My mixed episodes have been feelings of both states at 1 time- racing thoughts, agitation, paranoia and suicidal. They're the worst. If you're on an anti-depressant I would talk to your pdoc about stopping it. What meds are you on? Take care- Judy
