This my be a stupid question but Im new to being bipolar so Im going to ask it anyways.  I was just wondering if youre able to get on the right medications at the right dosages, can you still have hypomania/mania/rapid cycling?  I was just wondering what to expect.

I think so, but you are more aware of it and can tamp it down easier. The medication if it's right should be able to keep you even. I'm on Zyprexa, Wellbutrin and Lexapro. Seems to do the trick.

Thank you I was just wondering because I just started Geodon but Im still rapid cycling.  Its probably just because I just started and havent found the right dosages yet.  Thanks again!

Honestly I think you can no matter what dose and how long you've been on it, although I'm "new" to the medications, I rapid cycle still but not as badly, I don't drop as far and my highs aren't as high. I'm still in the regulating meds phase but I don't think there is any amount of medication that will balance any of us out completely. Just going off my experience so far.
