Why on Earth are you on lexapro and topamax? The lexapro could be the source of your rapid cycling. And the topamax has not been shown to be an effective mood stabilizer. You need to be on a good anti-manic agent.

You need to be on some better meds. Talk to your pdoc asap.
It was effective until a few days ago. I also have severe PTSD. The lexapro has been the only effective med for nightmares/flashback and trigger relief.

Yes I get 1:1 therapy twice a week.
