> Hello Marsha,
> I swithced from Lithium to depaokote 11 years ago. Do not rememeber the dose. I quit all alchohol at that time and Doc tried all mood stabalizers and atypicals. I have not had full mania for a long time. Alchohol and stresfull job are gone. I tried paxil when it first came out and was fired from major investment bank for erratic behavior. No way I could take SSRIs without Klon. I could not handle any amout of Effexor. The new version of Nuerontin (cant think of the name) made me a zombie a few months ago. So life is good. Do not feel meds when I take them and have none of the horrible symptoms of BP that plagued me for years. I am a phone calll away from doctor and my wife is a great barometer. Good luck to you. Benzos have their downside, but name a med that doesnt. With Klon 2 MG is right dose. Anything less might as well be used at needed. I dont crave increases like with other benzos. I took a Xanax the other night by mistake and hated it. (used to love it).

Is klonopin the only med you take? Or do you take an AD as well. I'm sorry, I've forgotten if you already said this. And the mood stabilizers, do you take one at all? I almost went crazy on Paxil myself. Outright panic and terror. It was horrible. (And it's supposed to be *good* for anxiety disorders. Our chemistry must be backward.
