I take zyprexa and lithium and was good for about 2 weeks but then the wheels fell off AGAIN  like thet always do after a short period of time

Yes I have experienced that. Lithium is a first line mood stabilizer and Zyprexa has a good effect in this area but for me Lamictal had the best effect on rapid cycling but as each person responds differently to each medication speak to your psychiatrist about available options. Keep a mood tracker here as well and print out the results for them to assist with them knowing exactly what is going on.

There's one good thing about rapid cycling. You know it will pass. :p Seriously, that is how I deal with it. It might suck in the mean time, but I know the next day or few hours might be better.
