i know how you feel, when i miss like a day's meds because i'm staying over my friends house my swings just go crazy!!! i don't know the name of the stuff i'm on (i'm just a child, i don't get told anything, it sucks) but i have to take it 3 times a day and if i miss more than about 2 i start to swing really badly again, my meds don't stop the swings anyway, they make them a little less severe, last time i missed 2 days worth of meds i ended up yelling at all of my friends and trying to kiss my old english teacher! it's bad, my friends don't understand that it changes.... some of them have done research on Bi-Polar but they haven't found any stuff about rapid cycling so they don't understand and its hell.

sometimes i can change moods 2 or 3 times a day but other times i won't change for like a month! do you guys get this or are they 'regular' with your meds? are there any particular meds that i could ask my doc for to help with the swings? i've been told that as i get older my bi-polar may 'settle down' and stop being rapid cycling, has this happened to any of you? have any of you had it since teenager-hood?

thanks you guys!
