I hope you have a good working relationship with a pDoc. Clinically our illnesses sound similar - the rapid cycling, hypothyroidism, inability to tolerate ADs, etc. I am off of mood stabilizing meds (tried them all) for the first time in five years to try a course of ECT. My doc wanted me inpatient to taper the meds quickly. The ECT may be doing the trick! I second the recommendation for Mondimore's book "Bipolar Disorder," (John Hopkin's U. Press).
