Dear Boxer,

it is good to know you are on the road to recovery. i don't have many words but can i send you some hugs? ((( Boxer ))). your fright is understandable but things can be all right. really.

i used to rapid cycle ... it started with Paxil. these past years my cycling has slowed... these patterns CAN change. next to the unexpected "free fall" dives in the space of hours, the toughest part of rapid cycling for me was not knowing were the heck i was gonna be in a few days. plans... hah!

But have hope my dear. r/c and ur/c is medically less manageable, but those are statistics. It CAN improve. Even if the cycles are still short, attenuating their depth will help a lot. the meds are a challenge ... what i started doing was really frequent tweaks. i still do that with my SSRI.

geez i only thought i'd drop a line but i guess i'm not happy till i get a scrollbar in the edit window. sigh.

take heart. it can be done. the wingy wangy slam dunk thing can be tamed.

~ waves ~ wishes you well
