Thanks, that is helpful.
I have non-menstrual ultra-rapid cycling, too. Lamictal has never stabilized me, but my doctors have kept me on it while trying various additions (Gabapentin, Topamax, Abilify). Gabapentin did not work. Topamax was ok but incompatible with the hormone therapy. Abilify is currently helping, so I would be reluctant to stop it. I have never tried Seroquel. Would I take it in addition to Abilify, or rather as a substitute? Do you know if Seroquel has more of an antidepressant effect than Abilify? If I switch from Lamictal to Trileptal, I am thinking I might need another med that is more on the antidepressant side. My understanding is that Trileptal is more antimanic.
