I have severe bi-polar depression episodes.

In the past, anti-depressants were used alone, and I found myself on a rollercoaster of mood swings.

I am now told that I went in to rapid cycling.

I take Lamictal, now as a bi-polar anti-dressant, but really want to try some non-medication options.

My rapid cycling bouts were terrifying and led to an almost successful suicide attempt.

I fear taking any other anti-depressants.

I am worried about these meds and wonder if anyone else has had this problem?
