Keli, what is ultradian cycling BP? i've never heard of that!
i'm on my way for my baseline blood test in a few minutes. i'll start the lithium on the first-that's when my state aid starts for meds.
keeping my fingers crossed!
thanks everyone who wrote!!

Hi Nita - I'm not sure if Keli's around today, but ultradian cycling is also referred to as rapid cycling. Rapid cycling is when you swing from one mood to the other several times within a short period of time - be it hours or in some cases days. With me, I cycle every couple of months which my pdoc considers to be ultradian cycling. So, it's basically a more rapid cycling than the "classic" definition of one or two a year or whatever the given definition is currently. I'm a little behind in my research. Hope this helps.
Traci
Traci is right on with her answer...for me, I CAN cycle over and over in a day...sometimes even faster. Right now, on a small dose of Lithium, and a good anti depressant, I'm not cycling as fast as that...once or twice in a 2 week time period. Which to me, after all these years of the other kind, feels almost stable!
Keep us posted!
Hugs,
Keli
