Overthestars,

I am so sorry that you have been having such a hard time. BP disorder is so exhausting, because we are always fighting to get stable. I am a rapid cycler too, but have been lucky to find a combo after 2 years that helps a bit. It is so discouraging how long it takes to go through the trials of different drugs and different dosages. What meds have you tried in your 3 years? Maybe some of us could offer some insights about other things you might suggest to your doctor. I learned one lesson the hard way, that it doesn't do to be too patient. I kept trying to hang in there on different dosages of zyprexa without an anti-depressant because my nurse practitioner was more worried about mania. Ended up in the hospital because I needed the anti-d so much. I just want to encourage you to keep fighting, and keep posting so you can get some of the support you need from this cyber support group. So many of us are similarly struggling moment by moment, and can be shoulders for each other, for sharing and caring and venting. I love your user name, by the way.
