Hi there, for what its worth i'm ultra rapid cycling. I take an anti depressant daily with lithium which on the whole keeps me stable.

However, I also have diazepam occasionally to mellow out when things start spiralling. Also take antipsychotics occasionally. These I take for around 5-7 days when manic.

This cocktail seems to work although you have to self monitor or be receptive to others if they think you maybe swingoing too much one way or the other.
