James here....
I have never heard of a rapid cycler doing well off meds. I don't think it is possible. Also rapid
cycling is one of the most difficult things to treat. No doubt some of the meds you have tried have made things worse...to me it sounds like you have never found a good pdoc. Please do some reading on your condition, it is well est. that mood disorders (esp. rapid cyclying) are progressive if not treated. Sticking one's head in the sand is not a treatment method. Stoping ones meds is a good way to get locked up, that you can bank on! Find a pdoc that treats rapid cyclers, please !
