Yep.

FYI, that's referred to as "ultradian." That's EXTREMELY uncommon, though. More commonly, the term "rapid cycling" is used when a patient has more than 4 episodes in 1 year.

And BTW, I used to be very "rapid cycling" -- not to the point of being ultradian, but still getting an episode every 2-4 weeks -- and that was because I was medication non-compliant. I'd take my meds every few days, or I'd take them for a week and then stop them for 2 weeks. So I'd literally have an episode every 2-4 weeks. I don't know if that counts as "rapid cycling" since I was inconsistent, but I wouldn't recommend going on/off meds like that if you do end up taking BP meds. Please stay on them if you get them because it is hell going through those episodes.

Finally, remember -- if meds help you in any way, shape, or form, that's all that matters. YOU want to get better and stay better. Even if you end up having something entirely different than BP, it's ok to be on BP meds if they help.
