In reply to I think I'm bipolar and ultra ultra rapid cycling, posted by 4wd on October 14, 2005, at 21:12:27
The kind of "cycling" you speak of sounds more like the diurnal variation seen in unipolar melancholic or agitated depression. Tricyclics are good for treating that. It might be the agitation and anxiety that "pulls you in" to energetic people when you encounter them.
True "Ultra ultra" or ultradian cycling is very rare. There is nothing wrong with being bipolar. If you are, you are. There is also nothing wrong with being unipolar and using mood stabilizers. A combination of nortriptyline 75mg + lithium 300-600mg might work very well.
