Yeah, I know how Cyclothemia is, my Mom had it. I just recently bumped my Depakote up to 500mg per day, along with 20mg of Celexa every morning and 1mg of Klonopin every night. I'm actually starting to feel really good. This is like the first time in as long as I can remember that I'm not bouncing from one extreme to the next. Like a rollercoaster....I'm just worried about having to bump up too high on the Klonopin. For some reason, it just doesn't feel that right to take too much of that drug. However, I do need it to sleep at nights. If I don't take a strong enough dose, I don't sleep. If I don't sleep, I'm in a horrible mood the next day which could set off another episode.
The only thing I try to remember is that Klonopin has an 8 hour life if you're taking it by the mg. So I always take it at least 8 hours before I have to get up. Then with a cup of coffee and a little something to eat after I wake up, I'm fine, wide awake, no real "medication hangovers".
