Is there any 'normal' time period between cycles?? I am confused because I have been on several meds over the last year and I thought they were suppose to make me stop the ups and downs. I am on xanax,ativan,celexa,seroquel and lithium currently. I have been up and down many times over the last few weeks and very angry and irritable. I do not have another pdoc appnt until mid Oct. Any suggestions?? I took the mania and depression quizzes and scored pretty high on both. Could this be a mixed episode?? Like I said I am confused. Please help!!!
