Hi Brainwaved,

Great question, I have Bipolar and rapid cycling mood disorder. What they mean about rapid cycling is that you have mood changes at least 4 times per year. Some people like myself can have weekly to every other day mood changes and that's ultra mood cycling. Can't think of the exact term, but some people do experience their mood swings like yours and mine. It's really debilitating because you never know how you are going to feel from one day or one minute to the next. Your pdoc if you see one can modify your meds and adjust the dose to counteract those symptoms, but nothing is for sure. Just be prepared when they come and stay safe when they do. Surround yourself with a good support system and try to get plenty of rest because it's important not to disrupt your sleep cycle. Hope this helps somewhat.
