For a few days now I've been rapid cycling. Didn't know it until H told me something was off. Called my T and she said it sounded like Rapid Cycling and call pdoc.

It always takes a few days for her to call back. But, how it God's name is this treated? Doesn't seem like you could do either anti-psychotics or ant-depression meds.

Also, my pdoc said 200 Lamotrigine is the maximum dose but I see a number of you taking more like 400mg

I know no one here can give medical advise but just asking about personal experience.

Currently on 200 Lamotrigine and 5 mg Safris

I'm not a pdoc but he'll probably raise your anti psychotic.

I take 200 lamictal. But I'm not bipolar, so I don't know how they handle rapid cycling.

If the pdoc is taking a long time to respond, is there some kind of urgent care number you can call?
