Hi Cynthia,
Yes, it's hard to be dependent on this stuff when it doesn't work well, or the side effects are bad. That is for certain! Sorry to hear your parents don't 'believe' in bipolar - they really are lucky to have this option. As far as I can tell, it's biology. I wish you many middle moods for many years to come, Janice
Hello Chris,
I am anxious to hear how successful ECT is for you. Does it generally work well for rapid cyclers? If I never find an AD that works for me, I will keep this option open. Although I am only moderately depressed and functioning fully, I'm not having the greatest life. I am going to get this book by Dr. Mordimund. Thanks for the reference.
I imagine many rapid cyclers have problems finding ADs. Janice
