Is it normal BP behavior to wake up manic then feel depressed three hours later? Should I feel alarmed when this happens?

You have mixed bipolar and as Krystin said rapid cycling. There are specific BP drugs that address rapid cycling. Do you have a good pdoc that is well-versed in Bipolar and psychopharmocology?

Yes, very much so, happens to me as well. Then again, I am a rapid cycler.

I'm rapid cycling, too. I can go from one extreme to another a couple of times a day when I'm under too much stress. It was hard on my kids before I was medicated, now it's better but far from perfect.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
