Cyclothymic Disorde
"I have a condition called cyclothymia, which is like bipolar disorder except you get hypomania and depression basically every other day, every day, or multiple times a day. I was one of the ones who got these swings multiple times a day and it was awful. I was put on Trileptal 600mg, 300mg in the morning and 300mg at night, and frankly I feel &quot;normal&quot; again. I feel rational for the first time in a long time and it&#039;s great. From what I&#039;ve heard, medication isn&#039;t used often in cyclothymia, but it definitely stopped the swings right in its tracks; I only experience them on a very rare occasion now, and it&#039;s usually only when I take it later than usual, as it has a very short half-life."
