Christina - I am diagnosed with it, but I've never been able to identify myself as having any kind of cycling, much less rapid cycling. My psychiatrist diagnosed me with it the first appointment, which has always seemed fishy, because how can you tell that fast? But he is absolutely adamant that is what I have. At this point I've given up on getting any details out of him, as he won't even tell me if I'm II or NOS. All he says is I'm not I. I think it's because I don't fit the threshold of diagnosis. I just call it NOS, myself.
At this point I keep my mouth shut and take my lamotrigine. He's just too hard to work with. But the medication has kept me okay, so that's what matters. I just don't think he would help me with this. Thanks for the well wishes.
