> Nine very sweet and even days in a row, then 2 weeks of feeling stoned & inreasingly agitated. Pdoc says this is all revealing how much I cycle, is talking Lamictal on top of bupe, but I feel so revolting -- at least right now, I need a bupe vacation.

CFS, TLE, ADD, and now he is 100% sure, BPII and cycling. . .Neurontin didn't help. I don't understand Cycling -- does it mean if I were treated, I wouldn't feel sick on Bupe? I'd regain that first glow? This happened on Vicodin too.

> ZoHi Zo,
It could be your body is just adjusting to the presence of the bupe and then you have to switch it to something else to regain that same feeling. Or it possibly is just a jag (a few days) in your cycle that you will have to wait out. Maybe it would be a good idea to start mood charting. You sound like a rapid cycler like myself-you mentioned *nine* even days in a row. I plan trips around my cycling, it is so predictable. If there is something fun I want to plan I avoid the depressive days like the plague. I think the Lamictal might be a good idea-would you be taking it with your Neurontin?
