Sorry to hear you are rapid cyling. RC sucks big time. I tend to cycle over weeks sometimes less and I am most often mixed, depressed or hypomanic but when I get mixed it is mania and depression so it can be pretty intense as I am sure you know. Unfortunately RC can be more difficult to treat but it can be treated. Listen to your pdoc and at least for a while stick with what they suggest (unless it is downright stupid of course) to remain compliant and try to get stable. Our illness lies to us so we need to remain vigilant. I wish you the best on your journey.
