However it should be noted I'm titrating up on lamotrigine atm and I took a higher than usual dose of seroquel to get to sleep and I'm sure that contributed to the switch as I call it XD.
While I don't think it's official there is ultra-rapid cycling which is within days/weeks and then ultradian (hours/days). Here's a link about it here which you might find useful Rapid cycling and mixed states as "Waves" |
I am on lithiuim and wellbutrin and was titrating up on lamictal. I fell off the cliff with anxiety and fear and anger then fear then weeping and stopped taking it. I haven't had a bad reaction like that since I was in my 20's and completely unmedicated. Also once before when they put me on depakote it gave me the most horrible sleeplessness and pushed negative sui ideations that I ended up hospitalized with an attempt (mind this was after I had told the doctor this was happening and his response was, "that can't be happening because of the drug, it doesn't have that affect.")
I'm uneasy that all the different meds in my life have somehow made the cycling different and worse. I can't seem to keep it on a level to hold a job lately and I'm scared. Doc appt Wednesday but those 15 minutes go quickly
