I'm not bipolar and haven't taken any of the meds you listed (except klonopin), but I have had nightmares, or at least very weird dreams, from nearly every AD I've taken. And I see lots of similar reports from others. No night terrors as yet. I'd look for a correlation between onset of terrors and a new med or new dosage of a current med. And make sure your doctor takes this seriously as a drug effect, not just your underlying illness. I think most people know what's their usual depressed state and what's unusual, but doctors don't always trust this sense in their patients, probably even less in bipolars.
