Hi Roo,
Alternatives that I take are Omega-3s, B complex and a good multivitamin, and Ovcon-35, a birth control pill with estrogen. With klonopin, weekly therapy, exercise and good sleep hygeine I've managed to keep my mood pretty stable. Which doesn't mean it will last forever, my shrink keeps a pretty good eye on me and it I get manic he'll give me depakote and zyprexa which will settle me in a few days (and keep me out of the hospital). This has all come about because of the trust I've developed with my therapist and shrink and my inability to take psychotropic meds on a daily basis (with the exception of klonopin). Hope this answered your question. Take care, Judy
