Matt,
If you indeed have Ultra Rapid Cycling Bipolar
these things to totally OUT:Amphetamines
A/D's unless you are on a mood stabilizer
Experimenting with meds
Changing meds quickly
Not sticking to a regular med regimenReading you posts I would suspect you are making your condition worse with your current medication habits. BP is nothing to play with, the more cycles you have to more you will cycle, the qquicker the cycles will happen, and the highs and lows will will become more pronounced. This is called kindling.
