Yes, I'm on Klonopin. 2.5 mg a day (3.5 mg on a bad day). Also, I've switched from Prozac to Serzone hoping there would be less akathisia (it blocks 5-HT2 receptors which is supposed to alleviate the antidopaminergic effects responsible for SSRI akathisia)...sounds good on paper, at least. At some point I'm supposed to add Adderall for ADD. Last time I took 5 mg of Adderall I had a full blown manic episode. I must need a stronger MS on board. Gabitril made me feel like I drank a bottle of dextromethorphan and trileptal gave me chills, malaise and upper-right quadrant pain (liver?). No thanks!! I might be willing to try a small add-on dose of Depakote to my Neurontin and Klonopin.

Hey, by the way, is the brand name Klonopin supposed to be that much better than the generic clonozapam?

I guess bipolar disorder with add is proably hard to treat given the mania-inducing properties of the pstims...
