My friend hadn't had an episode for many years and extreme stress must have brought on this episode. Been to Dr Psych many times over last 8 weeks. They say it is Rapid Cycling BP. Some days you think we're on the mend and it all reverts back again with something else new. At present symptoms are chewing tablets and not swallowing them. Not eating much not drinking a lot and not able to sit down at all. We even stand in the Dr surgery. Dr has added Valium to mix. Other meds are lithium, Epilim, Abilify. Help would be greatly appreciated if anyone else knows anything about these symptoms. Haven't got another Dr appointment for 10 days. Thanks
