Hi Chris,
Great to see your post. I wonder about my prayers, sometimes they work, sometimes it seems like Gods got them on hold or something. Well it's good to hear your doing a little better and making plans for more treatment, and in other areas than just psychiatrict.
I don't believe the DSM IV is all that accurate to reality. Isn't there a line in there about rapid cyclers not always being rapid cyclers. Good to hear you haven't exhausted your options, that still you have the overseas medication if you need to use them (and I'm sure there are many of them)
Topirimate is being very good to me. Moodwise, I've stopped rapid cycling, although sleepwise the cycle is the same (no sleep, then hyper sleep). I am about 90% there. Like you, I've been through the trenches, and am still fishing out what normal is.
Well I will continue to be sending great thoughts your way, Janice
