I have rapid cycling and the past two weeks have been hell and heaven. Last week I felt so euphoric my skin was tingling. Then I felt dysthymic for 4 days. Then a major mania happened and I thought God and Satan were brothers (I'm not Mormon) and another God in the universe was evil and I had to defeat him. I then thought there was spy equipment in my apartment and I could literally hear it buzzing. This was Saturday. Sunday was euphoric but no psychosis. Yesterday was totally dysphoric and I was angry, very angry all day long. And now around 7am I started feeling fine. I will go back to work tomorrow with drs excuses. But nothing seems to work for my rapid cycling. I think I may need to get off remeron and up my lithium dose. But I don't see a pdoc for 3 weeks, as my old psychiatric nurse dropped me as a patient because she said my symptoms are too complex and I need a psychiatrist. But rapid cycling seems to be a blessing and a curse. I know my depressions (which are usually dysthymic) will only last no longer than a month. Of my manias, I am hypomanic 75% of the time and straight up manic 25% of the time. But even the intense manias Geodon and lithium seem to control. It's great being manic but with the new proc I am going to shoot for stability. Its just that when I've been hypomanic so much the past month, the supervisors at my new job think I'm such a great worker and have such a great attitude. Does anyone else rapid cycle and what are your experiences?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
