I'm bipolar taking Effexor XR 75 mg., Geodon 60 mg. twice a day, and Neurontin 400 mg. three times a day. Lately I've been having the worst problems with rapid cycling- 2 days high, 1/2 day normal, then 2 days low.
What have people found in their experience to be the best medication for rapid cycling? I'm thinking Depakote- hate the weight gain but I'm absolutely desperate this time. I'm so tired of the suicidal depressed sleeping all the time then no sleep hyper crazed feelings. Almost had to go to the ER last Friday because I was so suicidal.
Am waiting to hear back from my psychiatrist who lives out of town. Would love some imput from people who have experienced this themselves.
Best wishes,
Heather
