hi Judy, Yes from what I understand not too many bipolars have the euphoric type of highs like we do. No drug in the world could compare to some of my highs, and I've spent alot of time when I wasn't manic looking for a drug to mimick those feelings. I'm really just normal right now, well plus a little hyper (I would be high if it weren't for all the lithium & topamax). I'm usually pretty good with compliancy, but I sure notice it's alot easier to control the highs than the lows.
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so bad. I don't know if it helps, but I've been there. This sure is an unrelenting, incredibly painful, devastating illness. The thing with rapid cycling is you never get a break. take care Judy
Keeping the damage very minimal, Janice
