Lately, my depressions have been lasting 2-3 weeks and my hypo/mania lasting 1 week. Mixed is also 1 week. But, I don't really know anymore. I've started Lamictal and it seems to be working for me. Before I started taking it, I was getting an episode roughly every 6 weeks, but now it's been (I think) 9 or 10 weeks since I've had an episode.
I think Lexapro was causing the rapid cycling... because I used to have depressions that lasted 2-3 months, as opposed to 2-3 weeks. Latuda, on the other hand, just makes me pissed off and it does nothing for my depression.
