Klonopin is different than other benzos (Yes, it is a benzo). It's actually classified as an anti-convulsant and used a lot for treating epilepsy. I just suggest trying it cause you have bipolar, and it has mood-stabilizing properties. You also said you have anxiety, and it is great for that. If you read posts about Klonopin, you'll see most people have quite different experiences with it as opposed to other benzos.
I've tried Remeron, and it helped VERY quickly, which is what I like about it. It is great for depression, and pretty good for anxiety. It is known for it's quick action, and its very good side effect profile. However, it WILL cause drowsiness for a while. This is a given. If you have sleeping problems, this can be a great bonus. I'll put it this way: After 20-30 min of taking just a 15mg pill of Remeron, your eyes will get so heavy you won't be able to keep them open. But, you'll sleep like the baby Jesus himself (Remeron has proven to actually improve sleep architecture).
